Remind Me Once Again

If I forget in twenty years
The way you looked when you
Were twenty-seven, your eyes
Full of life and wonderings
Remind me once again.

If I forget, the way you walked
The way you talked, the way you laughed
At my silly jokes and lame pranks;
How your face light up when you smile--
Remind me once again.

I Like You Better Now

We were young and foolish when we met.
Playing with lipstick and bats were our games.
Your face all red and round, dirty--always dirty.
Mine was no better, but don't you dare say so.


Time parted our ways, as distance killed our games.
Books and writings became my life.
You have become a stranger somewhere.
Silence, always silence, was between us.


I saw you again in papers, and posters;
Over glass windows, and glossy covers.
Went to buy some music and saw your face
All over the place; who are you now?
