long ago
before you left
i knew things would change
its all about timing
i have been there,
many years
by your side
through all these years

i walk down memory lane
over and over
again and again
trying to make sense of this phrase

i am not angry
i am not sad
all i can feel
are thoughts running into neverland

its classic, textbook
little girl holding her head high
being pushed away
by time and space
only seeing in the mirror
a reflection of terror

i walk down memory lane
over and over
again and again
trying to make sense of this phrase

i am not waiting anymore
i am not saddened
i am only floored
by the deafening silence

but ive been there
i have been there , before.
its a slight shock and slight relief
to have you hit home

as the sun sets
the memories i started with draw to a close
like shutting the door to the refrigerator
the light goes off.

i am not angry
i am not saddened
i am only floored
to know that in the end we are all still here
still alive
for one more trip.

ive been there.
