Mind Passages

      Mind Passages

I feel down. I feel kind of blue.

I’m all alone with nothing to do.

My mind drifts back to a long time ago.

Back when I was young and on the go.

I remember the good times I had

with a certain girl. She was so rad.

She lived just up the street.

All memories of her are oh, so sweet.

 

I take those mind passages.

Back to a time I will never forget.

Mind passages.

They are memories I will never regret.

I have to go back—–.

To those mind passages.

I know she’s there. I have to get back.

I’ll take the next plane.

Back to where I know she’s at.

 

I often wonder if she thinks of me.

It’s been a long time. I had to be free.

I think maybe I made a mistake.

I didn’t realize I had my cake.

I thought there was time to kill.

Something better just over the hill.

In the end I realize my error.

My mistake was not to stay there.

 

I take those mind passages.

Back to a time I will never forget.

Mind passages.

They are memories I will never regret.

I have to go back—–.

To those mind passages.

I know she’s there. I have to get back.

I’ll take the next plane.

Back to where I know she’s at.

 

I wait and wonder, will she see me?

The plane lands soon, then we will see.

I left saying I would return.

Then waited too long. You’d think I would learn.

When I hit bottom, I knew what I’d  lost.

My loss was colder than a winter’s frost.

Hindsight is always better than foresight.

I want her back with all of my might.

 

I take those mind passages.

Back to a time I will never forget.

Mind passages.

They are memories I will never regret.

I have to go back—–.

To those mind passages.

I know she’s there. I have to get back.

I’ll take the next plane.

Back to where I know she’s at.—————-R. W. Johnson—– (2012)
