It's Been a Long Time
The sun comes up to bring forth light
I just get stuck in the shadows of night
I think of you often it’s been a long time
Since I held you close and said you were mine.
The time rolls on as it always seems to do
I’m caught in a dream at a beach with you
I pick up a shell and starfish along the line
I miss your laugh, it’s been a long time.
A heart so big it encompasses the world
I climb into the water as the futures unfurled
A mermaid of sorts below the surface you’ll find
That you’re still in my heart, it’s been a long time.
A sea gull flies over it reminds me of you
When times were better and I knew what to do
I look up to the sky in hopes for a sign
The clouds move in it’s been a long time.
The sun drops and kisses the water it is time to go
The colors streak the sky much like an air show
I pick up the pieces and take what is mine
With a tear in my eyes, it’s been a long time.
