Santa Cruz

You might not respond
You might not say anything at all
But I know in the long run, I’ll eventually stumble and fall
And will I get back up again
Or will I just stay down and then whine about it?
I just need a minute to decide
Wrap my mind around it
And I hope you respond
I hope you say anything at all
I often confuse Santa Clara with Santa Cruz
And every once in a while, I get the California blues
But I don’t miss the place
I mostly miss the people
And they told me that people get replaced
I guess I shouldn’t have believed them
