It was so long ago
My memories have faded
What happened then?
If I stand on my head
Will all my memories fall out?
I'll hold them close to me
That's all I have

I remember sitting in a bar
You were standing up there
singing something about 'my guitar'
There was hardly anyone
It was almost empty
What happened then?

I remember sitting on a couch
You were sitting next to me
We were writing poetry
Or I was trying to.
And later you gave one to me

That's all I have.
'Two would be poets'
Scratched in pencil
Faded on the paper
Twenty-six years later
What happened then?

I wanted you to be different
Or I wanted to be
