When Yvonne and I first started dating I was getting ready to go on a trip to Ireland with a friend of mine. Yvonne bought me a small journal for me to write down my thoughts while in Ireland. I was recently on the island of Mallorca and started reading through some of the entries that I had made and just started laughing at what my mind thinks.
Inside my stream of consciousness there were also two poems that I had written for Yvonne. Here is one of them.
Not Going Anywhere
I’ve gone places, so dark so dreary
I’e gone there, parts of me never returned
I’ve gone away to forget my tomorrows
I’ve gone far, too far to turn back
But with you by my side
I’m not going--
not going anywhere
I’ve been long gone, I’ve been beaten down
I’ve been to hope’s end where life and death collide
I’ve been so lost, today passed me by
I’ve been away with no place to call home
But with you lying next to me
I’m not going--
not going anywhere
I’ve going somewhere not found in books
I’m going there to cleanse and sanctify
I’m going away to remember yesterday
I’m going far, so far to chase my dreams
But with you to share my life
I’m not just going--
not just going anywhere
