I Saw a House I Used To Know
I saw a house I used to know, today
Someone I loved had lived there once
A few years gone
So very long ago
For a moment I was seized by some idea
Of knocking on that well remembered door
To ask for her I once had loved
Perhaps I would be led into her kitchen
While its present occupant Rummaged
For a written down address.
That kitchen would be new
Refurnished
Redecorated
Remodelled
Well beyond my time and memory.
I must never call at doors
That are for me no longer left unlocked.
