The Return

You left without warning My heart left yearning It hurts to see you now, today I'm left speechless, nothing to say But my mind is racing with thoughts Thoughts of you and I, how I fought Old memories start flowing back I hope that, now, we're better than that You look different, but the same I hope you've erased my face, my name I want to start over, anew I want to begin again, with you Others want you, like the past But I have a chance, at last A chance to try again, fresh To erase my actions, my mess Your eyes read change, maturity Mine read pain and purity I hope you remember how I felt I hope you remember what you made me endure A chance with you, I know I've earned I've been working, 'cause I knew that you'd return.
