One Step Ahead

Dream deferred Tears unheard Unseen Silently Forever looking at stars Dreaming of ours Futures unknown Forever one step ahead To our ten steps slow Promises to never look back To let the past be just that Supressing memories Even those of a happy me Happier than the one in the mirror some days Sick of your ways And your empty words Of futures unknown Forever one step ahead To our ten steps slow Promising to never look back To let the past be just that And I'm thinking of leaving you there To satisfy the stranger in the mirror To satisfy me And my future unknown Forever one step ahead To my ten steps slow I promise to never look back To never repeat the bad But to smile instead At where I've been And to stare at the clouds To wish on stars Letting go of ours And focusing on mine Dreams defined My future still unknown Only one step ahead To my two steps slow I'm catching up, not looking back Keeping the past as just that Learning to smile at possibilities And me.
