Moving Forward
Sometimes I sit back and wonder how I keep going on.
Wishing I could be full of sleep, these days can seem so long.
Really though, what would sleep mean for me anyway.
Thinking my body could rest, but a restless mind remains the same.
Maybe this is why I have spent so many years on the roam.
Nursing broken thoughts and dreams out there on my own.
Mistakes I know I've made, like others they're regrets in which I have.
I can only resolve them by moving forward, I know I can't change the past.
So do you want to come along with me as I continue down this road.
Not sure what to expect, but it will be interesting as we go.
I'll just need the flash of your smile so I can carry on.
I know it gives me strength, I've been missing it all along.
Well there goes my exposed heart, to be remolded by your hands.
Please just use a delicate touch, sometimes I weaken as I stand.
