Grilled Cheese

Grilled Cheese Hold The Memory By: Judge Burdon If I only knew what you were thinking I'd feel warmer against the cold Than with my coat Avoiding the words I've heard Crying out to be spoken Regretting the letters I never wrote. Sure has been quite a while since I've seen you last How the years they've passed us by The tears we've cried have long been dried Things have changed they always do We're both different now It doesn't matter anyhow Tell me how've you been Still smiling I guess permanently Hope that smile is for me I've been living out west in Tucson Ya know fun in the sun Just getting by but not by much No bad times although still don't have a dime to my name Chicago hasn't changed it still seems the same You say they had a lot snow in Wisconsin It gets oh so cold and the wind it blows so damn hard I'm still smoking and playing guitar But I'm not getting far So tell me did you find that special someone Who you would make sure to be nothing like me I know l made a mess of love Like dirt l swept it under the rug To be forgotten Thanks for the great grilled cheese Oh how we survived on these Every time I eat one it brings back fond memories Of you know back then Another cup of coffee then I've got to run That's such a good line especially at this time Don't say we'll keep in touch or how much you've missed me Just stopped by for your famous grilled cheese And a broken memory that can never be.......

So many songs, excellent ones, with this same theme - all heart-breakers JUST LIKE THIS. LOVED it, felt it. 2nd stanza, did you mean, "Things have changed they also do" or intend to type 'always' rather than 'also?' I'm a noticer, hope that's okay. This truly gripped my heart with bittersweet and poignant emotions. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
