You would think by now,
i would know my way around.
I shouldn't miss you so badly,
i should be on familiar ground.
How many more years,
must meander by,
until i learn the lesson,
that it does no good to cry.
What manner of iron will,
must some people possess,
to be always looking forward,
to never accept regrets.
Perhaps if i was willing,
to let someone take me by the hand,
they could show me a happy face,
in this unfamiliar land.
Perhaps i'm only homesick,
for all the joys that were once mine,
i must accept that only you,
belong to another place and time.
But i know that deep within my heart,
that there's a place where you reside.
And when the pain of loneliness comes,
it knows that's where i'll hide.
So if sometimes it seems to you,
im clinging to the past,
it's mostly because i can't accept,
that our love didn't last.
No matter how hard i try,
i've yet to get over you,
for that part of me that is still alive,
believes you still love me too.
