When You Were Burning All The Photographs,
Was There One That Made You Laugh?

by Ralph Alfonso


Whatever roads we took
You know, we finally made it here
A little older, a little wiser
We like to think that, anyway,
you look great
I'm not just saying that
Why would I?
There's nothing to gain
I missed that train
I spent too much time looking at
the schedule
not realizing
time had run out
Doors shut
the whistle blows
Where you went
The conductor knows
Those railway tracks
Never looking back
When you were burning all the photographs,
was there one that made you laugh?
The secret sign
The secret joke
The time and place to our favourite song
We knew all the words
Sometimes I try to sing along
But now my heart
gets it all wrong
That's how it is
I know i'm just passing through
Wanted to say hi
Nothing happens unless you try
