Good to me, good for me

How do you tell everyone 

You’ve changed too much 

To go back

Old and familiar melodies

Too tangled in my 

Past self and

Their experience of the world

I’ll sing you what

I remember of

Kiss From A Rose

Back then I was

Puzzled by the words

Intrigued and excited

Now it holds something

Vague and mysterious

Just out of reach

And as old as redwoods

Some unlearned lesson lost

In the string of haunting notes

And I wonder what I 

Thought my path was

I can’t recall these days

Other me was 

Clinging to friendly faces

Friendly spaces

I struggle to 

Return

I can’t look 

Most of them in the eye

Turn away

Keep looking for the magic

How do you tell anyone

That you have moved on

It’s not that you weren’t

Good to me

Good for me

My reach is not as long

I do not talk much

I don’t answer most

Messages

Regardless of your place

In my heart and mind

It’s not personal

I am just a different person
