The past seems only yesterday
It's hard to believe what slept away...

The night was gray and musky
Streetlights glowed fumingly...

Not so long ago, there was you and I
What happened, we thought would never be...

I looked at all the things
you have given me...

A child born on Christmas Eve
His mother died the minute he lived...

Backpacks aren't always a pretty sight to see
Especially when they are left outside the door...

It was the image of the sunset
flickering in your eyes...

How can someone’s hand fit in yours
And be so with another...

She is the ghost lingering
At the back of your mind...

This is the day I drop everything
To look back on my life...

There’s this sad gleam in his eyes,
The faraway stare into darkness...

Words can only capture so much
But could only hope to reach...
