To All The People I've Known Before

I've got to know some people, they're nice.
Made a few friends once or twice.
But years they keep on fading
And my life just goes on changing.

The years they kept on slipping past.
The friends I made, they never last.
I had to push them further away
For my future, they couldn't stay.
But does future come in front of
The spell love casts?


I wish I could look back
And see them once more
Because the fact is
those people I adored.

Maybe I could
In another life.
I made an opportunity,
But created another strife.


All those friends with time I've spent
They sure frankly made a dent.
In a way they've helped me make
The pathways that I could've take.

But when the decision was set and done
They told me to go on, have some fun.
Don't let us hold you back
From achieving your dreams…


Don't hope that is what I think it means…


Sometimes I wonder
If I decided right.
The worries and loneliness,
Strike harder in the night.


Sometimes I wonder
If I decided right.
Now I'm in the open,
I could've been tethered tight.


Now it's happening once more
This time worse than ever before.
Words can't describe the pain
The loneliness, driving me insane.

I wish it never came to this
You guys are people I'm gonna miss.
They say it's for my future
But every day it gets less grandeur.

I'm worried and scared
This is all for none
Perhaps it'll be okay
Perhaps I should run.

But I have to face it
It's what I do
Through the hurt
All…


For you.

The uncertainty
Making it hard to see
You.
Through the darkness
How can it be?
