When I read over messages of the past
Things I used to think would actually last
I was just Dreaming of something that would never be
But no matter things will never be as they were, don't you see?
The feelings I once had for those around me
Were feelings that would set me free
But that was so very long ago
Things I once knew I no longer know
I was happy way back when
Simple things made me smile then
Now that its over everyone has gone
I see I must leave this behind and move on
But reading over what use to be my joy
Bringing back thoughts of things I used to enjoy
Tears fill my eyes remembering things I loved and cherished
All are things of the past and have also perished
Why is it that things of the past haunt my dreams
Why is it that no one hear my silent screams
The people that surrounded me at one time have left me behind
I was so happy that it was what made me blind
My careless, worry free days are over with now
Because, what was is gone, its ended somehow
Why is it that the things that mattered the most
Why are they haunting me as if a silent reminder, a ghost
The words and promises that had been made back then
Now little reminders what what I held dear way back when
All that mattered is what I had set before me
It couldn't have ended, nothing like that would come to be
Or so I thought, but now I look back and remember what we had
The things we said, promises we made, they all make me so sad
Why is it that everything matters more now that its in the past
Why couldn't I do something to make those promises and friendships last?
