It Never Entered My Mind
Love's Unseen Turns: A Melodic Journey of Unexpected Realizations
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Initially, I found amusement in your words
That I'd be playing solitaire
You predicted I would be playing the solitary card game
Uneasy in my easy chair
I would feel uneasy even in my comfortable chair
It never entered my mind
Unexpectedly, I never considered this possibility
And once you told me I was mistaken
You once corrected my perception, stating I was wrong
That I'd awaken with the sun
You suggested I would wake up with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
You ordered orange juice for just yourself
It never entered my mind
Again, it never occurred to me
You had what I lack, myself
You possess qualities that I lack within myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Now, I must even attend to my own needs
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Once you cautioned that if you rejected me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
I would find myself praying in loneliness once more
And wish that you were there again
I would long for your presence
To get into my hair again
To trouble me or be involved in my affairs again
It never entered my mind
Yet, it never crossed my mind
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
A repetition of the warning about potential rejection
I'd say a lonely prayer again
Reiterating the lonely prayer and the desire for your return
And wish that you were there again
Expressing the wish for your presence once more
To get into my hair again
To become entangled in my life again, as before
It never entered my mind
Despite the warnings, it never entered my mind
