about

Do the people from your past think about you and smile? Based (loosely) on a true story.

lyrics

Standing on the North Pole, I slide to the equator
This move's unending, and once again I freeze
Caught in first and final act, the moment here is greater
More than I expected, I fall into you with ease.

But not even a photograph to take as a memento
Just flashes in my mind, it’s not enough to hold
I left before the morning light, I missed the crescendo
Back to the wilderness, back into the cold

I will never see you smile
But the best that I can hope for
When you think of me, you smile
If you think of me
At all

A life of poetry I scan here from a distance
The missed potential is my wayward path in stride
But still, a memory far away is brought back in an instance
A door closed long before, a future left denied

I will never see you smile….
