People I Once Knew

Just a poem for a funky mood. I'm not single anymore, but I wrote this when I was.

People I Once knew

I used to know a whole bunch of people,
now they have all come and gone
some of them I see quite often
others are far away and so I sing this song

I remember you,
I remember you,
You may be gone away so far
beyond Peru

I remember you,
Oh I remember you
Do you remember me
still, do you?

Sometimes I wake up
sit bolt upright in my bed at night
remembering your smile
and how we used to be alright

But you have flown away
on wings of which I had no knowing
you have gone away
somewhere I do not know

I recall the day we met inside
like poetry
and yet I can still see your face
how you walked and wore those shoes
how you held yourself
or sang the blues
but now, I think of how
things used to be
and how they're better
now with just me
