LAUREN

by Mike - Aquarius

i

time has come as time has gone
though you've been there all along
since the early morning woke; until the break of day
the past remains well ahead, tomorrow is just today

memories are again thoughts entangled in my head
again you are the path i follow and not the one i'm led
to be just a curve on that path
alone i would await hell's wrath

around the corner and down the road
thoughts of hope are bought and sold
eyes wide though my mask of tears
broken heart of my fears

feelings are laid beneath the treehouse floor
they've come back, stronger then before
beautiful can barely describe
a mended heart with you inside

again i'll make the same mistakes
to sit back and receive what life takes
i've been taught a lesson i'll never learn
the love i give will not return

ii

on day that face my again shine bright
when i feel you in my arms
the darkest cloud will rain light
fallen rain; memories of harm

the field of grass; the third field
a gentle game we play
the heart i tried to yield
i just can't look away

so full of life and full of mind
the prize i'll never win
13 years is quite a long time
if needed i'll try again

iii

the past is never far behind
and the future's never clear
tomorrow could bring happiness
if their was a cure for fear

to ask the question
in which the answer i already know
what's going on with me?
why can't i let go?

one day i'll look back
my life's only regret
looking, searching for that person
the true love i've already met

Reason for writing:

    lauren, whom i've had a crush on for almost 13 years now..
