I wonder if you think of me, am I often

on your mind

Or am I nothing more than shadow from

a long forgotten time?

Do you stop and reminisce when someone

speaks my name

Or is it just another word with little

hint of fame?

Any time you hear our song does it fill

your heart with me?

Or has it lost all meaning since the day you

set me free?

Does the thought “What might have been?” ever

haunt your day?

Or has it been too long ago since

you ever felt that way?

My one and only yearning has been 

that you should want me too.

A simple wish gone unfulfilled in

this world without a clue

Rolling out emotions that only

flow in one direction

Like travelling the long and winding road

that has no intersection

                              Searching for the detour that could

                             set me at your side.

But spending more than half a lifetime on

a long and hopeless ride.

Held hostage by the memories of a summer

filled with you
