I left my past love out on the sidewalk
She was jonesing for a smoke
Fresh air
A few short moments escaping my head
But she never returned
Other loves showed up
Some arrived with shiny luggage
A few unwashed
One came armed
But not that one
Why do I grieve so much her memory?
I sent my hopes to the country
We survived
They never call but sometimes write
Describe a future they still don’t like
Yet now all I muse on is my lost past love
That sweet breeze blowing off her hands
What if she’s alone
Out of her depth in this depthless heat
Where has she gone?
I still don’t think I’ll ever find her
Some loves know how to stay lost
