Old Friend

Where did you go, old friend of mine?
I turned and you were gone.
I wondered if you'd ever come back
Or if you had really moved on

Losing my mind, my tender heart
I searched for you desperately
You'd decided to go but I couldn't stop
My life was ablaze with worry

It burned inside me, for many days
This longing to rediscover youth
The days we spent as young children
But now I see the truth

Holding on to you, my shooting star
Will only bring us down
I'd rather be a cosmic angel
Than wear that broken crown

They say that if you love someone
You ought to let them go
So, my friend, you're free from me
The curtain has closed on our show

I'm at peace, watching you fly
I know it's the right thing to do
But deep inside I pray you remember
That I will always love you.

I. Sparrow

Autumn Days

The crunch of the leaves beneath my tired feet is comforting. I knew I was so close to home, the faint glow of the warm fire was in the distance.

The House Of You And Me

As I walk through the halls We once did share Noticing all the things, We never got to repaire. And the roof It leaks When I'd walk Raindrops splattered upon my cheeks. And the walls are crumbling.

#4. Boxes

Sidenote: If it wasn't in the list, I'd name this one "Bits of Me". Boxes, boxes everywhere. Holding all my old clothes. Of which I'm too big to wear. Forever and on. Boxes, boxes everywhere.

Rewind

I remember when we met again. We both had changed, And nothing was the same. I remember when I got a text from you.

The Best Memories.

I remember hand-holding, The sea, the grass, our smiles, The endless walks across the sand, Our talks could stretch for miles.
