Fading Footsteps

Walking down a familiar path
Where once it always made us laugh
With times we shared along this track
Which is why I keep on coming back

But the path today is not the same
The direction's lost from where we came
Cobblestones now hide in weeds
With no idea on where they lead

When once my footing felt so firm
But now instead in mud I squirm
No longer can I see our trail
Whichever way I turn I fail

I don't give up to find my way
Although I know that I'll just stray
And in my mind you're easily seen
But out here all I sense is green

No matter now which way I turn
The path we shared will not return
The steps I take just make it worse
With each one I walk in reverse
