Lessons Learned

These are the things that I miss the most
The little things that I never noticed
Wish I could go back just one time 
Feel the heartbeat
Of innocence which in a sense is so sublime
It's much easier to just stay cold
You can't find your way back to the place that you would never dare to go to
.
And maybe someday
I'll learn
How to trust again . . .
And not feel the burn
And baby someway
I'll discern 
The blowing of the wind . . .
And not fear the turn
.
Drowning in the desert of deep regret
Scorched in the river of secrets never told and never kept
You can't go back to where you've never been
You can't shut out your friends if you have never been a friend to them 
You can't undo what's been undone
You can't win this race if all you ever do is run
Look with your heart not just your eyes 
You can't live this life if all you ever do is wave goodbye
.
And maybe someday
I'll learn
How to trust again . . .
And not feel the burn
And baby someway
I'll discern 
The blowing of the wind . . .
And not fear the turn
.
So take a chance and just let someone in
You may get hurt, you may get burned
But then again . . .
You just might make a friend
And maybe someday
I'll learn
How to trust again . . .
And not feel the burn
And baby someway
I'll discern 
The blowing of the wind . . .
And not fear the turn
