not a through street

i don't remember much of anything of those years

kind of strange

kind of sad

considering all the laughs and all the tears

could be this quiet cul-de-sac

or the cynical moon

could be the neighbor's cat watching

me from the living room

either way

these days i feel so strange

i remember you

so strange

do you remember me secretly?

so i comb the depths of the ocean floor of my memory

grasping onto some shell

some piece

some evidence of you and me

sunlight streaming mornings and your head in the sheets

dancing naked in the living room

i still practice secretly

i remember you

secretly

do you remember me?

secretly

i remember you

secretly

do you remember me?

secretly

you're a mile away on your island

so blue

doing who knows what with who-knows-who

haphazard lovers don't seem to drown out your tune

goes for me anyway. i don't know about you

so no matter what or when or who

you remember me

i'll remember you

remember me and i'll remember you

remember me and i'll remember you

secretly

remember you

secretly

i'll remember
