Jan 3
I didn’t want to leave you, but I didn’t have a choice.
I’m sorry that I hurt you. I know it seemed I didn’t care,
But when I died I mourned for you, the way you mourned for me.
And now I’m here, not far or near, but just around the corner on the path that goes one way.

I dream sometimes that I’ve gone back
To have another year with you, or maybe just another day,
With time to say I love you and time to say goodbye.
But that’s a dream, I can’t go back,
And all that I can promise is my love will keep me waiting here
Until you turn that corner and I see you once again.
