Have you ever taken a step forward
when in reality it felt like you never moved?
Probably traveled as far as the door
don't move with ease anymore?

Whoever thought that moving ahead
can sometime leave you in ground zero,
Raised believing and praying
for those unspoken hero's

Like swimming in the open ocean
with no sense of direction
Just old memories
and fuzzy recollections

Feels like we're playing charades
in our life of shoots & ladders
You have given up and now their is UNO
even after my heart that I bestow

Who knows where or when
the train will finally be on track?
When time is not wasted
where love meets and opposites attract

I would have to say
to take that step forward
I would have to take a step backward
let her understand that my name is not Edward
But Howard
And find that our love has not soured

But who knows where or when
Until then...
Can we start?
And never end?
