When I Reminisce



It was that summer we spent
At your childhood home
I saw the side of you I loved
Out in the open
That part you were never able to show
When my memories flow
That's what I see and feel
The lake house
The lake
The feelings
Like being at my favorite spot
At the ocean
Or just standing in one of your buildings
Bridge building
Dreaming about what the future would be
Manifesting
I was so young
So insecure
So unsure of everything
It's funny
People want me back in that space
But I was closer to YOU then
Even when you were a million miles away
I miss that connection
Always with me
My heart skips a beat
You find out why
Show up at my Mama's house
To see me
Get rid of my nightmares
Even protect her
You are my vision
There has never been another connection
As strong as this
You and I both know
Where this power comes from
Faith
Wish I was there
