Running Shadows

When we try to chase them all together 
Nostalgia goes back in place 
Old songs seem to play again 
And we try to forget all the pain. 
 
I hope everything's not yet the end 
To chase the memories for a second time around 
Everyone hopes for a second chance 
'cause life is just all at once.

I Should Have Held My Breath

You were gone as quickly as you appeared. 
One moment you were walking back into my life, a bit more weathered, much more grey, but you still had those eyes that saw right through me. You stood there as I fumbled for the words to say after 8 long years and before I could catch my breath, I felt every moment I had gone without you melt away. Like watching an old home video, the nostalgia washed over me like a tidal wave and just like that, I felt the warm edges of love in my chest. You would think it would be uncomfortable or awkward to love again so suddenly, so forcefully, yet I stood steadfast with belief in you once again. Years of conditioning a cold heart, forgotten in an instant. You made me feel a joy and an electricity that I no longer felt was in my grasp. And as quickly as you walked through the doors you turned and left again. You were a tornado of emotion that destroyed every wall I built up around me. You came and you took and you left. They tell me it’s better sooner than later but I wonder if this kind of pain can grow any wider in my chest. I could have held my breath longer than you stayed, and dear god I wish I had.

After All These Years

He once was lost but he's been found
After all these years
Tell me , what made you come around?  
Let's talk awhile 
tell me what's on your mind 
It's been 15 years 
Was I really that hard to find? 

After all these years 
Here we are together 
me and you 
Sit beside me, Tell me 
how do you do? 
No sooner we begin to converse 
We walk down our roads
Shifted In reverse 
nostalgia takes place 
Tears flow down face 
That feeling of love and passion 
Time has not erased 
I could remember the way 
he would graze his hand
across my cheek 
cover me with kisses
 until my body became weak 
The dedicated love for my children and I 
His devotion to becoming a better man 
So that we could walk down the isle 
  
Those were the days 
with the brightest and bluest of skies 
Let's slow it down, for the present day
we must not compromise 
So let us not, travel too far
down memory lane
Let's quickly turn around 
Because we are older now
and life just isn't the same
It gladdens me to know 
That you have found love 
and made a family of your own 
I wish it were you and I 
But I must reap what I have sewn 

I was once lost, but I have been found 
After all these years 
He walks into my life 
As humbled as can be
Not one ounce of strife 
He needs to close our chapter 
For he's about to make 
someone his wife
Long lost loves 
Is what we will remain 
Now that we have seen each other
We will be able to attain 
The long needed closure 
That will bring us both 
Piece of mind 
After all these years 
Finally, 
we can have a proper goodbye.
