No Plans to Return

After you are gone, I won’t go back.
       To anything I may have known before
       I knew you, I say don’t bother to ask.
After you are gone, I won’t go back
when there remain so many streets to walk
where my step’s found yours to be so sure.

       After you are gone, I won’t go back
       to anything I may have known before.
