We met on the same road at odd strides Drums of memories at our backs Swaying and swishing us side to side Spilling and splashing on our tracks Your burden lightened as I smiled The pain in your eyes softened Shall we go into the wild? I reached your hand, my grasp strengthened Please. Let’s go… this is it Don’t let thoughts hold you back I’m with you I’m by your side Such strong legs, how are you still here? Offload these memories, there lies better ahead I’ll lag a moment, don’t you fear And poke a hole in this drum so fed It is night now, the sun has set Tomorrow you’ll see, your drum will be shed The sun rises, my eyes pry open Your wings hid as a drum, now ready to fly Unburdened, confident, they strengthen Hunting the horizon, you aim with your eye I stare with shock, I stare with awe You turn at me with a faltering smile Nature exposes our only flaw There is no longer a shade of denial Please go… it’s gonna be gone soon I’d hold you back Can’t follow you Can’t be by your side You won’t have to be scared Face that horizon with brave Make your wings spread Follow and feast what you crave I have got a drum to offload I will follow your trail Turn now, switch to flight mode Lead the way, I will soon set sail With a gentle swing of your bold wings You shook this earth off A wet earth upon which my foot now stings I now stand in a memory trough You hover and look back One last look at my smile As your tears try to stack Instead they drop a mile You swing your wings without fear I will hold onto your burdens now I feel the memories creep up my rear I’m stuck now, I don’t know how My chin sinks into the cold You shrink into the distant glow Roaring in the sky so bold As I gargle under the flow Please don’t go… what do we do? I want you back Just want to be with you. Nobody is by my side You can’t hear me from here Please don’t turn back I am surrounded by fear It is so cold and black I’ll come… enjoy it. Chasing your back. You will be with me We’ll rule side by side

I met this girl from France, she had a week to stay. we made the best of that week and hoped she would return. she had other dreams to fulfil. I had responsibilities to tend to. dont know what the future holds for us. we watched the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, it made us fall in love, a quote in the movie reads: "this is it Joel, its gonna be gone soon. what do we do?" "enjoy it."
