Back To You

image by Sarolta Ban

I still remember that phone call

The day when my life stood still

Since the day you turned your back

The void in my heart no one could fill

The pain pierced through me every second

I let it kill me day after day

I was soon losing my senses

For the heart, the mind did pay

Year after year, I shed a tear

I tried hard but couldn't let go

The more I tried to lock you out

The memories only continued to grow

One fine day I saw the light

I was determined to forget you

I packed all your thoughts away

I decided to start life anew

I threw your memories far away

I was happy to have nipped the bud

I took it to some strange place

And buried it deep inside the mud

Life looked bright instantly 

I decided to strongly move on

The void was slowly filling up

Your presence was now gone

I walked ahead with charged hope

Found a new path to take

I would leave behind everything

A new memory now I'd make

Soon I realized how wrong I was

In my heart, you'll always be my lover

For this was the lane I'd buried you

Your memories were now sprouting a flower
