where we had begun (rewrite 3)


my feet stand firmly
on this cold hard ground
it feels so strange
not having you around
time was endless
when we were young
I wish we could go back 
to where we had begun

I see your family
in the front row
people are gathered
all the friends you know
I say my goodbye
I hope you had fun
I wish we could go back 
to where we had begun

          I remember you
          from so very long ago
          tethered to
          your transistor radio

my heart is filled with sorrow
I think of way back then
I listen to the preacher
and I whisper amen
a handful of dirt
and the setting of the sun
I wish we could go back 
to where we had begun
