I drove by your house this afternoon On an errand of a sort other than nostalgia Looking down the way, I saw your place I remembered the last time I drove by you
After work I visited you at night I drove in the dark, I arrived and I parked And bounded your dimly lit staircase In a familiar place, I saw your lovely face And we would melt together in an embrace
You would lead me to your room I'd close the door, remove my shoes And we would laugh as I told the night's stories Then you would kneel over me And us two became we But the details are too painful to think of
I remembered loving you today It was so beautifully excrutiating , I couldn't stay I turned down another street, feeling so incomplete Because I can't think of you another way
Maybe that's why I have tried hard not to think of it
