Three years and days and days and days'

                            -  -  -

I left a girl i love.  I hid from her eyes

like fireflies from bats try to hide their glow

but they're always on radar

Starting a new I flew into loves embrace again

with a girl who knew the paths traced into my heart

like she held the map

exploring all of my secret passage ways

and lighting me up like a lantern from within again

i loved

and i loved as hard as i did

                              -  -  - 

We visted.  that old lover and i.  we talked and laughed

close we always were and never changed

never moved on from that castle we built was

as strong as it was three years before

and it weighed on my heart like it was made of stone

like high tide ran from it's mote never disturging the foundation

of what we were

lover

i need some space to retrace my steps and

cry some lonely tears and

understand my fears and

destroy this love or that love

my heart was going to break either way and i

ran

and so did my lover of old...

                               -  -  - 

new lover

new life

new person i was becoming and i was afriad

i would never be the person i wanted to those years ago

but she never let go. 

she never let go...

and i found the home i lived in for three years

more beautiful with every dirty dish

and i found the homei lived in for three years

more captivating than the gold fish

who always learn home is a place right behind them

like they've never seen it before

they see every corner with new eyes every day

every hour

every few seconds

and it's beautiful.

she's beautiful...

and my i want to spend the rest of my life exploring that beauty further..

I do... forever.
