Somewhere so out of sight is the long roads,
that lead me to these words on this very day,
with thought upon thought I have dwelt,
contemplating and considering my actions....
Reasonable logical reflective thoughts,
Of my deeds and betrayals that linger aimlessly in my mind,
Lost without answers,
I've stopped and searched....
My mind stops with thoughts of you
Like a small child I picture your face,
In my mind I replay all our moments together,
Of times gone by and times so lost inside of me....
Like a child,
I feel the lose of you,
Immense and true deep inside of me,
I've held these thoughts and feelings true....
Looking through foolish stained eye's,
I see now the great destruction,
Our love and friendship endured,
From you I held a part of me,
Foolishly fooling myself it better this way,
I was ashamed....
From roads where dreams come true,
I pulled myself away from you,
Hiding like a coward on a darkened roadside,
I had so little pride I was afraid....
Many times I had known the truth would out,
Not having words that could ever explain to you,
The depth of my despair,
I feared trusting in you with secrets deep,
knowing,
The destruction that past explanations had founded...
Seeing you,
Your face falling in shame,
Would have destroyed the only beauty I had ever held...
In letting you go,
Was for me my saddest sorrow,
My love for you went deep,
Deeper than any ocean the tide could bring....
There's a storm inside this heart of mine,
From words I've spoke and truths I've held,
From you my truest friend,
I have kept....
I have a secret some would love to tell,
For my heart to linger in darkened time,
Would bring thunder clouds thick and black,
And pride and unfound justice to those who held me bound...
Along these miles I have walked,
And still my heart replays,
Dancing memories of fun filled days,
Where rainy days were light and bold,
Lost to the great sea of memories,
This heart shall never be...
Distance is set in time,
A time where two hearts collide and meet freely in the middle,
Where the darkest of night becomes there light,
A place where souls are bound together for all of time....
As I remember fondly,
I remember a love with words and trust,
Something so innocent I could never corrupt,
But as my wrongs run through your heart deep with words of hurt,
I find in me a silent love that was meant for you and me....
I remember you with tender thoughts,
Never replacing your name or face,
Lost or forgotten you could never be....
Our friendship was made forever,
To run the length of rivers far,
Yet our tears have wept...
I'll reminisce all our time,
From time begun up until now,
Like the long road to heaven,
Stretching out across the sea like your smile inside of me...
I've held these words so long and strong,
I'll hold them now inside my heart forever mine,
I've felt so long so lost in time,
with words from you,
I'll hold them tall. |  |
