_Nothing will ever be the same. _ Parked on the side of the high way Pain pouring from out in streams Sorrows drowned in bad decisions Memories buried beneath months of mistakes _Everything is different now_ __ __ Isolation, a desperate need to hide How does anyone ever survive this? This was meant to be forever Now, there is only a vague remembering__ __ _This is for the best _ __ __ Healing happens slowly, then all at once Nothing has ever cut so deep before Resurfacing from a pit of darkness The first sunrise after the return is nearly blinding. _This is for the best_ __ Time moves quickly after that Life changes with the swiftness of a speeding bullet Suddenly, there are dishes and laundry School drop offs bedtime stories. _Everything is different now_ __ __ Even dreams have changed No longer stuck in the desires of youth. Where once there were dreams of travel and chaos, Now there are fantasies of stability and peace. _Nothing will ever be the same. _
