I Walked Ahead of Time

I walked ahead of time 
Thought you would be waiting for me
And last step into the darkness 
I knew you would not be there
It was my mistake that I never tried to remember
Yet I never forgot that you never needed me
You don’t need me, I forgot the truth
From with the darkness I was walking tall 
To ground in an instant I was, crawling, crying
Begging my heart our for happiness in my life
Begging for you to come back into my life
I felt cold water running through my cheeks 
And before I knew more, I was awake
