Hadn’t Tried

Lyrics

Hadn’t Tried / Eric Krewson

[Lyrics taken from lines 54-65 of the poem Evening Song]

“You know, before we started…” “Dating.”

“Yes. Thanks. I didn’t really let myself,

well… do this kind of thing. I didn’t think

that I would have the time for it, I guess.”

“What with your weekly gig and part-time job.

Makes sense.” “It isn’t logical, but then,

it’s not illogical. I hadn’t tried.

Not really. What I mean is that I’ve changed

my mind. I think there’s room…for you.” “I’m glad

to be maneuvered into something, always.”

She lightly elbows him, then takes his hand.

The two sit quiet, rest. They’re drifting off.
