he came from somewhere back in her long ago

the sentimental fool don't see

trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created

once in her life She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

never coming near what he wanted to say

only to realize it never really was



she had a place in his life

he never made her think twice

as he rises to her apology anybody else would surely

know he's watching her go



what a fool believes

he sees no wise man has the power to reason away

what seems to be is always better than nothing

and nothing at all...



keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago

where he can still believe there's a place in her life

someday, someway she will return
