Silence Again

"I promise I'll call back"
"you swear?"
"of course"

so now she waits by the phone for the dinner to end
laying her heart on the line once again
is it too late to say I'm sorry?
I'm sorry for ignoring you those long and dreadful months
but I had some growing up to do
I had to live through some hardships

but the time has come
and I'm running back
to what it once was
to where it all began

As my life spirals back down to the remains of you
I think of the days of joy
the days of epiphany role back again
you think you know it all
but you get to the nothing of the story

I will never forget the truth beneath the lies
I love the jokes you forever say
as today's conversation brings nothing but laughs
remember me when I'm gone
but for now I'll never leave you

you're forever in my mind
and I'll never give up the hope
what was will always be

but the time has come
and I'm running back
to what it once was
to where it all began
