See Ya

You know, sometimes you have to
go backwards
in order to advance.
You left me - but before you wandered off
you took me back to where
I had forgotten I could be.
And now I can move forward in a
way that slipped my mind
some years ago.
Maybe, as I pass by your way once more
you'll be able to stay
with me.
Or, then again, as I pass by,
I might be so busy looking ahead
I won't even notice you.
