Every Road...

A thousand days, no change.
The world just keeps going on.
Have I wasted my only lifetime?
Has my branch failed to sprout leaves?

Every road may feel the same but that's not true.

How could I not see beyond the raincloud that hangs above my head?
In every memory, you're there.
With a hand firmly held with mine.
I hoped those moments would last forever.
Unknowing love I failed to grasp.
You slipped away leaving me alone here.
If I followed the footsteps left in the mud will I like what I find at the end of this path?

The world doesn't stand still, it moves forward.
I have trouble keeping pace with what is yet to come, from beyond.
It moves so fast that before you know it, it's gone.
Every road may feel the same but that's not true.

I'll leave my mark someplace where no one can see.
A spot nobody would go out of their way.
A place so familiar...
