The Past Is Eternal
Tonight is the night.
Going back to where it all started.
I've been here before.
The roads are paved with my failures.
The sky is filled with my memories.
I saw her there.
Sitting in the window.
Her smiling face was never forgotten.
All the dreams fade away.
They are now reality.
The moment is here.
The moment is now.
The nerves overcome.
I am unable.
I cannot forget.
The moments I have lost.
For they are eternal.
In the minds,
and hearts.
Of our lovers.
