too long i've walked this lonely road


a solitary figure flanked by darkness


as the cold bites through my clothes


i turn around and in the dark i see


that the path i've taken here seems like forever


and the road ahead seems to stretch for eternity


through it all i've longed


for the times we once spent together


holding hands with hugs in abundance


as if a new day would never dawn for us


and sharing a passion that never seemed to fade


but i foolishly gave it all up


when i left you that fateful night


in childish anger i never should have felt


but i could have gotten you back


if i had swallowed my deadly pride


instead of beginning my journey


along this path of solitude


left with only memories of you in my mind
