Saying Goodbye To The Past

Saying Goodbye To The Past

Current mood:contemplative

I thought of you today...

Amidst all the talking and laughing of people nearby

In a familiar place I'd only seen in passing by

Over the past ten, eleven, twelve years

While I've struggled with facing so many fears

Fighting back tears... although those moments

have been less and less... but I digress.

I thought of you today...

How once I was so happy with you

How everything back then was so fresh and so new

Before the downfall, before the demise

Before your constant string of lies

...came crashing down... under pale grey skies.

I thought of you today...

And our time there before

I stood by a tree and stared at the shore

I inhaled the last winds of death

And I exhaled it all out with one final breath

...finally, at long last -- I can live with my past.
