Come Back To Love

When roads of discontentment
                 take you places you don’t like
and the feelings you discover
                leave you frightened and alone

Just come back to love
                                 Come back to love

When the message in the mirror
           lets you know you’ve gone too far
and there is no clear direction
                       in a maze of fear and pain

Just come back to love
                                  Come back to love

I say this to myself as I would to you
               when the world seems far away
When I feel there’s nothing left
                            and no one left to hold

I just come back to love
                                I come back to love

- If we get lost in a big forest Mike, we will sooner or later end up where we started, because we will always go in a circle, without being aware of it - A lovely poem :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
