I want to go back.
Back to when everything seemed possible.
Into the pristine simplicity of our youth.

I want to go back to the night we almost kissed.
Back to when we were so close.
In the carefree hope of being in love.

I want to go back to the nightly texts.
Back to the wit between the lines.
In the inspiring ease of our conversations.

I want to go back to our dates.
Back to the familiarity of your arms.
In the unmistakable certainty that we belong together.

I want to go back to your laughter
Back to a pre-hurt-time.
In the casual openness of our hearts.

I want to go back to the summer.
Back to when my dreams were reality.
In the crumbling security of our relationship.

I want to go back to you.
Back to the strength to fight.
In the blissful days when we were talking.

I want to go back.
Back before we parted last time.
In the knowledge that it is for the best
