I cannot look back
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Sometimes I have to move galore
And I cannot look back anymore
The thoughts I had are gone for now
But I know that they'll be back somehow
However they are splintered and bowed
Shattered like a broken pane
And scattered into eternity
Some without even my name
But where I go I see so much
More than I ever expected
So when my thoughts turn back to you
Do not fear that they'll be conflicted
