Returning

by Miss Lonely Teacher   Jul 11, 2008


You're locked away in my head
haven't seen you for years
hope you haven't bowed to the worst of my fears
I'll never know - are you alive?
i know it seems so weird
we were just kids who'd never know
love doesn't come from a simple hello
but it can end with a simple goodbye
i don't quite know how
or even remember why
but soon after i moved away
are you still there - have you left this place too?
I've returned but can't see you
you've moved to the front of my mind
i remember everything now
the laughs and good times
maybe it was too perfect to ever be real
i can hear your name - not see your face
i even remember how my heart would race
it seems funny remembering these things after so many years
remembering but not seeing is my new fear
no longer locked away in my head or heart
you'll never again be here like you were at the start
what happened between then and now?
returning here has blurred it all somehow
have you forgotten us or do you still have memories?
of when it was just you and me
