| My Old Friend |
| I've felt your coming for quite some time now But I'm hard-pressed to articulate the specific reasons why Maybe it's just a collection of things. So, my old friend Here you are back at my door I've no choice but to let you in To embrace you instead of running away It seems I've run from you for so long But now that I stopped, I know that I can run no longer I wish you weren't here but at the same time, I'm glad you are I know I have to face the fact that To live life, I must welcome you Because, only through you Can I begin to heal and to walk in the light I'm beginning to understand your presence And why you've come to visit I feel your vast depths and intensity But, as frightening as your are to me I really think I'm ready for you this time. You see, I've learned how to face you After all of these years To acknowledge you, to feel you completely I know the only way I can survive is if I embrace you Hold you close and let your intensity overwhelm me Because, when you are through with me I will heal...you...the pain will be gone And I will again be happy. |
