Let the Truth Be Told..

by Rachel   Jul 31, 2006


I've been running for so long,
The truth has been catching up.
This seems like the hardest thing to do,
And I don't think I can do it anymore.
But to be honest,
I don't want to leave this place.
I'm afraid that if I do,
I'll forget everything that I'm trying to remember.
I'm afraid that the memories will slip
Farther away as time goes on.
And soon I will have nothing.
The last time I left,
Regret filled my head, my thoughts.
Regret was what I breathed for one year.
I let so many opportunities behind,
There were so many chances
And to this day, I still can't believe I gave them up.
I gave up a chance
To meet people who I think
Could've changed my life.
And now, as I stand here,
I have the same opportunity in front of me,
And I don't want to lose it.
But I don't know what to do.
The only thing that keeps me going,
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is that I will return to this place someday,
And that's all that I live for.
And even if that never happens,
I promise myself, I will never forget.
I still have the pictures,
the feelings that you gave me.
And I won't give them away for anything.
