Crossing of Life

Look at everything I've done

There is no forgiving this

Even still, all I did was run

I ran from it all

I'm gone

I departed to a new place

Where no one could know

This dreaded face

I spent my time on the train

Afraid

 

Time has come to Fall

The color red was all around

Each leaf is a memory hiding

Things that shouldn't be found

 

The wait comes to an end

Where I will take

The first step

Towards a new life

And right away

"Welcome to our town!"

"There's no need to frown!"

"Come on, let's be friends!"

Rushed by all the villagers

"Hey, I'll show you around."

The young miss

Said to me.

So then she went off, guiding me.

This was the next step

In this life

 

No

Is this forgiveness?

The world has given me a

Second chance

This is a new life

A new Me

I'll turn over a new leaf

I can make the change

 

Past, present, future

Past doesn't matter

And we live in the present

Fighting for our future

 

"Hey, miss,

Let's strive forward in this town...

Together."

This is now my town

Our town

Something far greater

Than even destiny.
