But for a beautiful girl . .

   we'd have money to burn.

"What"

What if . .

It got weird but we could talk about it and make it better?

What if . .

It made no sense at first but things got clearer as time went on?

What if . .

You explained it all to me your way until it made sense?

What if . .

We met formally like the United Nations and hammered out multilateral pacts until you were satisfied?

What if . .

Things got better, but slowly, almost like real Life?

"Once"

That place where we once . .

   Danced, romanced, and necromanced.

That place where we once . .

   Played with hearts

      Mumbled off charts

         Drifted fits and starts.

That place where we once . .

   Tricked ourselves

      (like Christmas elves)

         Putting hearts on shelves.

That place where we once . .

   Asked all the wrong questions.

That precise place . .

   Up-and-closed today.

"So You Think"

So you think . .

The world has turned

The pond froze over

The bridge was burned.

So you think . .

Things that happened

Alter all

That came before.

So you think . .

I would be fickle

I would change

My thoughts of you.

So you think . .

You think too much

The door is open

What we had

Is evermore.
