The Past
I wanted to live the dream
Be all that life handed it seemed
I followed my heart, followed my schemes
But life had a different direction it seems.
I think about the years past
Broken dreams that did not last
We were friends but we both forgot
Different destinies is what we sought
Words we never said, never spoken
Promises we made but became broken
Another day, another year has come and gone
Time has passed away when all is said and done
Our memories remain in the distant past
The years have moved on rather fast
Time with all it shadows cast
Our paths once crossed but it did not last.
