As we walked down that familiar path
You quietly whispered as I bursted out in a laugh
One moment you're by my side
The next you're a year ahead
You reach for my hand as I stare into your eyes
There's always been a spark
Windows down singing your favorite song
Leaning over to kiss you
Your smile warms my heart
Next moment you disappear
I've been searching for months
Those play fights just to hear my laugh
Your momma loved to hear me say "hello"
A year ahead; you're so far gone
I long to hold you in my arms
Here you are laying next to me
Teling me secrets I'll keep to myself
Off to the next one, you left me dry
I've been praying for your return
Here you are.

Her tanned skin reflects in the mirror of which she stares
Only to find imperfections and disatisfaction
Her mind fights her every morning
To some size is just a number on the inside of your jeans
To her size is everything
She is painfully thin
This isn't a disease but rather a way of life

When you past is gone but your furtue is yet to come
What's the first thing that comes to mind?
Do you wish of new
Or dream of the old
The only thing that took you by surpirse
Was the change in time
Did you want to slow down?
When everything just fell into place
All you remember is the smile on your face
Did you still fear the impossible?
As ill actions were shown
Was respect lost?
When life threw you handfuls of oppertuinities
But none caught you
Did you sitll take the chance?
The chance of change
Chance of somehting new
As if nothing else mattered; The world against you
Unspoken words became guilt
And your regret never left you
Would you speak wisdom now?
When your past is gone but you future is yet to come
What's the first thing that comes to mind?

I remember that first walk to our favorite spot
Everytime we met, there we sat upon that stone
I cradled your heart as you embraced my hand

I remember sneaking over
In my bed we'd lie
Gossiping for hours; tangled in the sheets

I remember fireworks up above
As we walked with fingers interlocked
Blues and greens and reds

I remember we made that enchanting summer last
Until late Novemeber leaves crunched
Underneath our feet

I remember loud music and long country rides
That night when your mom arrived

I remember those forced goodbyes
Hurting everytime

I remember waiting for weeks to pass
Just to hold you once more
To feel you caress my legs

I remember driving into the unknown
To park and talk a while
Singing our favorite songs just to hear us laugh

I remember lying on your mothers couch
As we watched that comedy on your tv
You softly spoke into my ear
I'll never forgot those words
Followed by your hands

I remember that last walk
You whispered a secret to my lips
And I watched you go for the last time

I do it because I have to
Waiting around is not beneficial
Falso hope isn't good company
So why not move on?
You had me hooked
With the sweet words and tender kisses
The love you shared was far from fake
But this time apart is real
Temporary love we exchanged
To be apart was planned and arranged
Time keeps going, moving forward; and so should I
