• A thought diminishing from my mind,
    Your presence is now put behind,

    I hate to leave you in the past,
    With all but a shadow to forecast,

    I cut all the memories left of you,
    So maybe I will have a chance to live my life, too,

    You have held me back for so many years,
    And yet leaving you brings me a lifetime of tears,

    But now I must be on my way,
    So I take my first step,
    Into the sunlight,
    Of a bright new day.
