Premonition

I knew exactly where you were going to go,

And I knew there'd be no place for me there, so

I turned and ran the other way.

I had a premonition, I'll never forget it;

You were there in your bright pink jacket,

The only thing that wasn't grey on the gloomy day.

I could have been there with you

Instead of spending a year or two missing you,

But I knew you had no need of me.

I was just a ride you were taking

On the way to your destination,

Just a minor part of your life's journey.

I hope for you things worked out for the best,

But I'll always miss you, nonetheless.
