We were so close

I had you right at the tips of my fingers
like the shore is to the sea
now we are separated by miles and space
like the wolf is to the moon
though I see her we will not be
so I'll cry in the night when no one else can see

When I was young...
I thought I was destine for greatness
I felt as if the sun light shined just for me
and that the world turned in my favor
with age I realized that I am just as foolish as everyone else
and my pile of failures stacks high and wide
I know now I am just a soul wondering this place
looking for another who understands
life just isn't what we thought it would be

You say I've changed
and that it's easy to see
but in truth It's not easy to think
I'm not anything like I used to be

It doesn't matter where they say you should be
verses where you are now
we all move to our own clock
until all our time runs out

It's like you would rather choke on the smoke from the flame
we created than fix the stain on your own heart

take a long look at yourself
and know that you are good enough
