PAST AND PRESENT TENSES<br />
<br />
I thought I saw you<br />
Walking in the mall.<br />
Just a glimpse or two<br />
That started it all.<br />
Opened the door to<br />
My total recall.<br />
Your blonde hair, brown shoes,<br />
And that tie-dyed shawl.<br />
I thought I saw you<br />
Walking in the mall.<br />
<br />
Sometimes things can get blurred,<br />
Scramble up our senses.<br />
Two sides of the same verb,<br />
Past and present tenses.<br />
<br />
Saw a bride and groom<br />
In a store mirror.<br />
Smelled your sweet perfume<br />
As I drew nearer.<br />
Like a rose in bloom<br />
The scent grew clearer.<br />
Two treasures shared the room;<br />
I held yours dearer.<br />
Saw a bride and groom <br />
In a store mirror.<br />
<br />
Sometimes things can get blurred,<br />
Scramble up our senses.<br />
Two sides of the same verb,<br />
Past and present tenses.<br />
<br />
Saw lovers coming,<br />
Playing music strong.<br />
I heard you humming<br />
Our favorite song.<br />
I heard me strumming<br />
And singing along.<br />
But the words turned numbing &ndash;<br />
&ldquo;Get back where you belong!&rdquo;<br />
Saw two lovers coming,<br />
Playing music strong.<br />
<br />
Sometimes things can get blurred,<br />
Scramble up our senses.<br />
Two sides of the same verb,<br />
Past and present tenses.<br />
<br />
Got into my car<br />
In the parking lot.<br />
So near and so far<br />
You were from my thoughts.<br />
Ate a candy bar,<br />
The dinner I&rsquo;d bought.<br />
Saw a shooting star,<br />
And my face burned hot.<br />
Alone in my car,<br />
In the parking lot.<br />
<br />
