A Circle of the Globe

Little did I know that A year ago today We would end up right back here now Like you never went away The scabs have only just left My skin still pink from scars Not enough time to forget you Not enough to stop wishing on stars And yet you're standing here once more now On my doorstep wanting in And believe me I want to let you But I don't want to hurt again So I'm faced with the decision To forget and go on with you Or to bring the scars to your attention Tell you what you've put me through Or be silent and walk away To wonder what could have been If this was the one time you had pure intentions Or if I'd be burned within But with everything that's happened I can't pretend to be okay I can't ignore the lashes to my heart Given when you walked away I so wish I could forget it Because as much as you've hurt me I would never want to hurt you I don't want to ignore your plea The world spinning has changed so much A circle of the globe Time seems to move so quickly But with you, time seems to slow.
