The Past

Isn't it funny how it seems we all try to hold on desperately to our dreams wondering if someday they will come true and those sweet past memories hiding in our hearts waiting for the day they again can come out from the dark we may push them down for awhile often thinking of them and having to smile then in a blink of an eye we're back to where our lives have taken us good or bad we did this to or for ourselves and then one day the past does come rushing in I found myself not quite knowing where to begin all of a sudden when I did find my start from deep in my heart I then remembered sitting there one night on the phone with someone to which my eyes had yet to have sight of how bout the night we met that's a time I can't soon forget you sitting there in the truck and me being so awe struck looking my worse, you your best you said to hell with the rest and to my surprise you called that night I couldn't figure out why you would want to date me thought at first you were just being a vice guy but time went on and it did seem like we were where we belonged it was you who made me feel strong to you I seem to do very little wrong all our talks on the phone were amazing but seeing each other although rarely was extremely captivating in your room alone oh those times were so much better than the phone talking and listening to the radio perhaps not always being so innocent as we should've been and loving every minute yes Bubby, years ago we said goodbye without never fully knowing the reason why and so we walked away some time ago from everything we had come to know we walked away from the feelings I know deep in my heart we had for each other but does that mean today that we should keep walking away I long to have you again, my friend as much as I want to we can't go back -only forward when you called not so long ago I was excited to hear you on the other end my dream was coming true cause I had once again was able to talk to you I've since to hear your voice I need to be given that choice of telling you things asking questions I may not want the answers for but I need to hear them just the same you may not want to go through this and for that I'm sorry but I know it's the only way I can ever once again move forward once I say it I'll walk again if you choose but I do hope we could be friends again and in each others future and not just living in the past
