haven’t we had 
a great afternoon /

wouldn’t you agree /

why do you go elsewhere /

what do you gain – 
a territory that is familiar /

we have walled up too many of our vulnerabilities now 
to tread new ground – 
to allow ourselves to feel /

i am taken back – home 
not for me, it isn’t 
i want to be with you /

what we had – 
this afternoon 
wasn’t it great –
no? /

i felt so –
now i am not sure /

won’t you stay
of course not, no /
i understand /

forget me.
