After All These Years

He once was lost but he's been found After all these years Tell me , what made you come around? Let's talk awhile tell me what's on your mind It's been 15 years Was I really that hard to find? After all these years Here we are together me and you Sit beside me, Tell me how do you do? No sooner we begin to converse We walk down our roads Shifted In reverse nostalgia takes place Tears flow down face That feeling of love and passion Time has not erased I could remember the way he would graze his hand across my cheek cover me with kisses until my body became weak The dedicated love for my children and I His devotion to becoming a better man So that we could walk down the isle Those were the days with the brightest and bluest of skies Let's slow it down, for the present day we must not compromise So let us not, travel too far down memory lane Let's quickly turn around Because we are older now and life just isn't the same It gladdens me to know That you have found love and made a family of your own I wish it were you and I But I must reap what I have sewn I was once lost, but I have been found After all these years He walks into my life As humbled as can be Not one ounce of strife He needs to close our chapter For he's about to make someone his wife Long lost loves Is what we will remain Now that we have seen each other We will be able to attain The long needed closure That will bring us both Piece of mind After all these years Finally, we can have a proper goodbye.
