Slip Away
December 5, 2010

Long ago when days were greener
And we didn't know it all
All of our footsteps were left in the sand
You meant the world to me
You were everything
Until you destroyed it
And blew up like a mine.

Dreams will always slip away
You'll have to chase them one day.

I eventually forgave you
Painted all new lines
I put the puzzle back together
And didn't miss a piece this time.

We've been through so much
Lacking nothing but lust and dreams
Dust collects on everything
While winds blow sand
We don't understand.

I really thought I knew you
But you left again
It was differently
And now I know.

Dreams will always slip away
You'll have to chase them one day.
