You once traveled
deep inside of me
and found yourself there
What was it that frightened
you,
made you seek your escape?
Did loving me tear down
firewalls
you struggled a lifetime
to build
Did our kisses break though
barriers
not yet ready to give
You have become the man I
can't see
though we live side
by side
You are the man who drives
me places
but the trip never returns
you to me
The years have drifted past,
the seasons changed clothes
many times
I have changed with them
with no notice taken by
you
I no longer believe in the
seasons
They have become a deception
to see
I no longer believe that
their changes
will bring what you don't
want to be
