Once In A While

Every once in a while
A thought of you pops into my memory
And then I am like Langston Hughes
Because I become consumed with "The Weary Blues"
And the things that I wanted to say,
But never said.
I think, it's too late now,
Cuz the relationhip is dead.
I think about the things we shared
And how much you cared
And how the next friend of mine shall be better than you
Because anything less,
Just won't do.
Then I fall asleep and experience endless dreams
Of things that feel like centuries of unyielding passion
And then I wake up only to find that you're a distant memory
That simply got the best of me.
Countless times,
I tried to hide the way you made me feel inside
But now there's no denying it cuz boy,
You made me feel alive.
So as I say this rhyme
I'm taking the time
To sit back and smile
Cuz I only think of you every once in a while.
