I left my heart in bowling green, kentucky

shouldn’t

i have forgotten?

by now?

you borrowed a piece

of my heart —

we were

finishing college

we had one year to go

you left that summer

for a job at a national park

U never returned / / /

i’m here

waiting

still waiting

forever waiting

for your return

please return

to Bowling Green

with the piece of my heart

we

can

begin

where we left off
