For the life of me
I can’t recall
The meal you made
That night we talked
About

Sloppy Joes
Or tuna casserole
Sour beef
Or was it mac and cheese

“I found some things”
In your darkest tone
My stomach sinks
And I almost choke on

Turkey breast
Or chili dogs
Gravy bread
Or was it beef Stroganoff

It was a long time ago
Split pea soup
It was a long time ago
Honeyed ham
It was a long time ago
Chicken parm
It was a long time ago
Fish fillets
It was a long time ago
Tenderloin
It’s been a long time, I know
It’s been a long time, I know

I know
