Holding Each Other Again

Why do I allow your memories
To send me to places I know
I never thought in years gone by
That I once again would dare go
But I’ve traveled back there
Only to find myself alone
Even though I have so many around me
My loneliness for now is meant to be
If that’s what it takes to make you see
That what was said to you
Was just my heart longing to be free
Of the deepest aching inside me
I’ve written these words in poem form
For some time
I do my best to make them rhyme
But mostly I do it to get out emotions
Burning up within 
And to try to make some sane sense
Of my situation in my mind
I didn’t go into this quest to find you and to tell you blind
I know the reality of circumstances
And how consequences can be unkind
You need to take a look all around you in order to find
What you’ve been looking for all along
That certain someone who never
Could quite stay gone
But instead of you pushing away
Stay
Let us face this together the way we did back then
Let us once again try to begin
To find the love we we’re destined to have
Let us be strong
I feel it this time we won’t go wrong
To each other is where we belong
Now we are older
That though don’t make the world around us
Any less colder
We have to prove to ourselves and others
Our love is bolder
Then their belief, things perhaps caused by their grief
This night is still and quiet now
I don’t dare make a sound
Yet my heart is screaming so loud
My head once again stuck in the clouds
My eyes closed and yep
There it is a vivid memory
Of you and me
Never fails
Every little detail
It’s to this I’m forever bound
Oh how I wish time could be wound
To back then
To fix things and let our hearts mend
To not let it end
So we would be
Holding each other again
