I Knew The Way



Don't show me what I can't have.
Don't give me any of that hopeless hope.
Show me the possibilities.
Nomore nighttime fairytakes.
That's not what I need.
Onlu in my sleep.
The vision of me back then
lays like a mirage.
And I promised myslef nomore daydreaming.
Yet I can't look away.
At a face that new to keep dreaming.
Because life is nothing without them.
What do I do
Follow the lesson life has given me?
Or just remember what I believed.
To forget, forgive mistakes accidently given,
but lay in my heart deep.
