Another Story
Joseph Danoski
Time to
turn a corner, time to shift my gears;
Time to travel time and turn back the years.
The key to my future is locked in the past;
All my lost memories returning at last.
I remember the me I used to be,
And now it's all coming back to me.
What was the something I didn't see,
That made her turn her back to me?
There was another story, there was another floor,
A room in that house I'd never noticed before.
Something I thought I saw as I walked by her door;
An object on the bureau she locked in a drawer.
And that something stole her heart from me;
Well, at least momentarily.
What was it I think I didn't see,
That made her keep her back to me?
There was another story, not just another floor;
A door to a room that was never there before.
Something was out of place, a strange look
On her face;
I gave her some privacy and gave her her space.
What was it she whispered that I wouldn't hear,
As I went back outside and had another beer?
The first of September on that summer day;
The last day before blue skies started
Turning gray.
What was it I was not meant to see?
Now it's all not coming back to me.
So I'll get in my car and drive away fast;
The key to my future still locked in the past.
