long ago I stood in a place
I thought I would never leave
I thought I would never go
I thought I would never be
standing in a different place
than the place I was before
leaving the place I once
stood with no other place
In mind at the time there
was no indication there
was no sign I wasn’t packed
to go on vacation I wasn’t
Prepared to move out of
the spot I didn’t prepare
for it to be vacant I thought
I was home I thought it was
my lot I miss it a lot pass
I pass by it often it reminds
Me of something unforgettable
