What Face Will You Wear Today?
I thought about you today.
How silly that I still do that
At least once every day
After all this time has passed
What, 22 years have slipped by
Since I last saw your beautiful face.
Today it was your punk rock face
Yesterday it was the sweet young you
With flowing golden hair.
Swimming along with me
While I surfed the breakwater
My own personal mermaid
Sigh…I thought we would always be
Even if it was as just friends
It's as if you fell off the edge of the earth
Are you even still alive?
I'm in the book, call me
We'll do lunch LOL
I think I'm afraid
Afraid some morning I'll wake up
And have forgotten what you looked like
It's funny, all those girls and women
That I've loved in those 22 years
I can't remember hardly any of them
A couple of them really loved me
But I couldn't return it
I tried but it was just different
At risk of sounding trite
You were truly my soul mate.
But in the end I guess I wasn't yours.
