You see, I awoke one night in the middle of the day.
Saying “goodbye” to a friend who was here to stay.
Said he, as he listened, not saying a word.
“I think your right, my friend; that sounds absurd”!

We had been back to a place we had never seen.
Remembering our past next week was sort of keen.
What’s up down here as we walked away?
The wind blew behind us on that calm dark day.

Forgotten past we remembered you see right now.
Not uttering a word, we cried out, “holy cow.”
Why us, yet alone? We wondered about others there.
No one is here today, so why do they stare?

We had perfect logic for this common nonsense.
You see, our weakness was our only defense.
Staying put, we walked away in perfect stride.
Knowing how humbling was our inner pride.

Tonight let’s leave this dream here today.
Confronting a friend who wants to play.
We learned a lot, not knowing a thing.
Don’t be a pawn when you can be a King!
