| when I think back now that so much time has passed,
|
| I must have known that it just would never last.
|
| when I look back now that I have seen so much more,
|
| all that was hidden seems to come to the fore.
|
| I feel like it all comes back to me,
|
| and I see that I had always known.
|
| I’m afraid that what I had failed to see,
|
| means all there ever was is now gone.
|
| when I think back now how confused I was,
|
| blind to the fairest seed whence it all arose.
|
| when I reflect on myself now all alone,
|
| I know that all I should have done is hold on.
|
| when I look at myself hiding in the dark,
|
| I feel deep inside I still yearn for that spark.
|
| when I close my eyes I can still see the light,
|
| but back then I was so afraid of its might.
|
| I feel like it all comes back to me,
|
| and I see that I had always known.
|
| I’m afraid that what I had failed to see,
|
| means all there ever was is now gone. |
