Discovery

Discovery

As she walked through my life, she simply kissed me goodbye.

She was only with me for a moment; a moment in time.

But then she was gone from me and all I could do is cry.

I guess we never get the chance, to love for life.

As the years all rushed passed me and experiences made me grow;

I thought about her all my life and where she is, I just don’t know.

But each night I send a firework, flying high into the sky.

Maybe one day she will see my signal flare and she will send me a sign.

As my eyes begin to fade and all my hair has now turned grey;

I guess she just isn’t coming back to me; I guess alone I have to stay.

I sure did have a good life and I married my beautiful wife;

But she has passed away, three years now

And I still can’t get her off my mind.

I wish I could have been with her, for the rest of my life,

But some things they just ain’t meant to be;

I never said it would all turn out alright.

I lost you in my youth and now I’ve lost my second love too.

I know I should be grateful, but all my thoughts return to you.

So many years without you near, I would just like to understand.

I know you had to find yourself, but did you ever find your man?

Or was I the one you think about, the one you could come back too?

I hope you think of me from time to time;

I hope to see you soon.

You had to leave to find yourself;

Well, did you find your way?

Have you discovered what you needed to find?

I can only remember the day you walked away.

Have you completely lost yourself in love and did you raise a family?

Our time stopped, the day I watched you slowly walking out on me.

I guess you carry your own memories;

I wish they had been mine,

But fate decided we would part

And follow our own paths. 

Have your discovered, how to just, leave it all behind?

I never did;

I never did stop loving you,

But now I know…

You’re never coming back.
