Left Behind

Passed you on the street today Saw you first before I looked away Felt the shame like I always do When I seek to avoid those I once knew Memories blinked before my eyes Of forgotten or most treasured times If I could have met your gaze What would have we left to say What did this all mean to me What did this all mean to you Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time In each other's pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace Passed you on the street today Father times been playing games I read the lines upon your face Every story told every step retraced Ducked inside some dead end shop Your reflection passed as you moved on There was a time those eyes would blaze With hope and hunger fire and rage What did this all mean to me What did this all mean to you Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time In each others pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace I've no longer the time or inclination To be saddled with guilt or considerations The clock ticks faster the nights get long The finish could be soon the pills getting strong Passed you on the street today But saw no one behind that face Saw in ourselves who we use to be Are we in a good place or just trying to be What did this all mean to me What did this all mean to you Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time In each other's pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace
