I'll hopefully turn this gibberish into a song here soon.
Working title(s) is(are): To rue a lost love in the 21st Century / Song for the lovelorn 21st Century boy
When I meet my friends at a 100 year old bar
And they all ask me how you are
Imbibe some local craft beers
Wondering what happened over all the years (I'm getting fat and going gray?)
Regardless of what they say...
Going home to myself and my thoughts
Playing some (glorious) hits of the 80s thinking lots
About what went wrong. Playing those old songs
From childhood
From the old neighborhood
When we all stood
Straight and should, could - would
Do everything we said we were going to
Having and doing it all with you
Right there to share
Aw, I should just give it a rest
Bon Jovi said it best:
"I'll still be there for you"
And sometimes, after some grog,
my memory's jogged
and my being gets bogged
down and backlogged
with the times we had
flooding back in a peer-to-peer torrential influx
of reminiscence,
downtrodden nostalgia
and I give in and check your blog
And for what.
Anti-ism
Check your E-prime meter.
What is and never was will never be.
Or according to those who claim to know.
