when will we
break free from this
no longer be held back
or imprisoned
by what once made us so happy

that was then
and this is now
if you can't accept your present
keep living in the past
but I can't wait much longer
before I lose my mind

it's been so long
I'm not sure who I've become
but don't worry
if you ever allow yourself
to start living in your present
maybe our paths will cross
and we can walk together
for a moment or two

but for now
this is my adieu
to you.
