The Repeat

walking down the alley
i never thought i would again see
the fateful sign which always leads me
back to the corner where you used to be...

for half my life I've been circling around
always stumbling upon the same old mound
always tracing the prints on the weathered ground
always lost...never been found.

i can never run from the graying shades
of a love that has withered but never will fade
i can never hide...i can never be free
from this bond that cruelly tied you from me

it's always the same old story
it's always the same tearful memory
it's always the same endless journey
when will God finally let it be?

when will i ever stop doubting
that i deserved to be loved, beside from dreaming?
when will i ever hold your hand my dear?
when will i ever have you near?

time had made its mark
the bruises are still pitch dark
healing will come, but not so soon
not until i have you under the pale moon

but,you are like the million sands
no matter what i do
i can only grab a handful
and wish out from my hands it will never fall...

like leaves of spring, you are a dream
that will soon have to let go from the stem
and i am the lonesome winter tree
beside the lake of misery...

my world is enclosed within your universe
maybe that is why
over and over,after all this time
i still can't walk my way to goodbye.
