Exit 19

*April 6, 2009*

And when you shake me awake, we wonder who the other one is

And where shall I take you?

I can deal with what I know much better than what I don’t

And I won’t deny what I feel because of fear

And yet I will deal with it..

And yet I must deal with it…

And yet I must question it

We can take that ride

And we can take that chance

And yet… where shall I take you?

And later, you might look at me

And perhaps you might smile… as a bohemian, as a realist

And later I might miss you

I think I might remember your smile..

And I think you might remember mine.. Could you?

I remember the remembrances and the gatherings and the gazes

But I remember a smile and a gaze and I remember a smile and a glance

I think we might think that something there
Is something we might remember

I think there is something we might remember

And here we are.

And yes, here we are and yes we are ok

And yes you are miraculous

And yes, you are.

I think I might be dreaming, and yes you are gone

So here we are..
And yes now it’s later….

And yet, here we are now

By miracle, yet, we are here now.

I know it was the chances and I know it was the coincidences

And yet you still remember… And yet I still do, too.

Should that be a sign?

Should that be an omen?

I’ve seen a lot and so have you,
I’ve seen a lot and so have you.

But suddenly, a smile.

So my darling, shall we?

Let’s take that exit

So what shall we do now? “I’ll go all the way with you, if you’ll only do the same for me”

There’s a yes and a no and a wrong and a right
At every turn

And yes, I know.

So look at it, and sigh
Look at it and choose. “you’ll be the death of me”

I don’t want to hear it, because I know.

But know, …. Know

So you will too,

Will you?
