| THE PEACEFUL WAR We spent over twenty years Growing farther and farther apart We've shed so many silent tears That we hide deep inside our heart Even though we both know It should be time to let go There's never been any hate We still like eachother But as we sit here and wait Our hearts go on aching and suffer There is nothing that we can do To bring back the love that we once knew We're fighting a peaceful war Each struggling with our love And neither one can take much more We've both had quite enough Do we give up and walk away Or do we stay this way So together we keep trying To bring back our old dreams And together we keep lying It's like chasing moon beams They simply cannot be caught Whether we want them or not Tell me, how much longer can this go on Before all our sanity is gone Do we just walk away Or stay as friends this way Shannon Miller 8/1/98 |
