I thought I couldn't go back again <br />remembering forgotten things <br />saying unsaid things <br />desires years ago I blame <br />Should I go back and say <br />I'd do it another way <br /> <br />People drift, people move on <br />I don't know how things could have been <br />But seeing you here, right now <br />makes me wish I could do it all over again <br /> <br />Now we're moving on the dance floor <br />like we did long ago <br />living the past, way back when <br />If this is goodbye, I should say so <br />can I make that mistake again? <br /> <br />I think I'll win you with a smile <br />I think I'll keep you with a kiss <br />holding you here for a while <br />now I remember this <br /> <br />Now the dance is over <br />the music dies down, and I realize <br />my drifter life I sometimes despise <br />but I can't trade the world <br />even for your eyes <br /> <br />Sometimes I look back <br />every now and then <br />and remember back when <br />but I can't go back and say <br />I'd do it any other way <br /> <br />Many years have passed since that fateful day <br />we shared a dance, trying to recapture a memory <br />but what I captured was finally <br />a knowing that never should have been<br /><br />Kevin Howell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-back-home/
