Here Take my hand We'll suggest a moment To remember

Was it that place among the stars you used to recall As if It were

Just-around-the-corner Maybe An affair Left a fracture Too sharp To heal

Quickly if-at-all Don't be tempted Follow close-by Don't ever Be Easily Dismissed

Remember You Deserve To Be Counted If not Celebrated. Was it that first time?

I only ask to be a part of what was To be part of what is / Quick / Time to change for dinner

Or Is it time for reconciliation? Accept the punishment Meant for another? Does. it matter?

I'll have the Pastrami on Rye Let's change places. You up the pace Or Not Here we go

False start He's the leader Choice is his It wasn't that long ago Remember me to all Who

Pass-on-by There are coins to toss & buckets to fill & refill

The answer should you have the resources may have left some time ago

Never settle for a walk-in-the-park When you could have a kiss-in-the-dark
