Genesis

By Carpe Deum

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

>< = Refrain Standing in the firelight (You're here; so am I) It's been a long time (My friend, why did you leave me alone?) I couldn't stop thinking about the times we had (Together, always together) Times when even a simple handshake Meant the world to me >And now we're back to Genesis The eye before the storm I thought you were gone for good and now I can know you once again Why did you think it was necessary To let me grow up on my own? I missed you< I loved you so much (Did you have any idea?) But then you left (And I gave you up for dead) You were searching for the path (But the path led back to me) Yes, the path led back to me And your smile is known again >< We're sitting in the firelight (Together, you and I) And our thoughts are one, the same (All hurt forgotten, let me heal your wounds) Everything is right again (And will be now and always) No more dwelling on days gone by Life started once again >< Written January 26th, 2002 © on Jan 26 2002 06:34 AM PST   20 • 0 • 8
