Flashing Back

Flashing back to a place Where the past is there face to face Time is endless, memories true It's now the retake of the younger you Calling out for answers now Feeling the regret, asking "How?" Or maybe "Why?" is the biggest one The way or self you have become You're seven years old and all alone You're walking in your Georgia home Hearing songs that once were played Visualizing the twelve years of where you stayed These memories grasp and pull your heart But not the means to tear it apart Just to remind you of a better era past To one more time allow your hopes to last Many things we wish not to see But it's just the way it has to be Lessons learned and heartaches brought It's just fate not what you sought Keep pressing on through these past times For it may soon be the end of in the line Not saying you will pass away or never dream But memories never twice may be what they seem
