Separate Ways

Today I saw 
a face I only dream of
I recognized
a feeling that I used to know
from another time, a space I thought I left 
long ago

I stood a while, 
I felt my breath escape me,
and spoke her name 
then as she turned to face me
For a second there was something in her eyes,
as if to say 
Nothing has ever change.

We took our separate ways,
but in our hearts we never changed,
we threw it all away
could we go back once again?
I learnt to carry on,
I learnt to face another day,
without her, without her trace.
So close we nearly touched,
I almost took her hand in mine,
time can fall away
but nothing can change the man inside
or bring us back the love once we denied

A candle burn, but in the world of darkness
I'd separate
my life before and after her
Now I see that nothing ever really changed,
but it's too late

i stood a while
i felt my breath escape me
spoke her name
then as she turned to face me
for a second there was something in her eyes
as if to say
time and tide can wait

We took our separate ways,
but in our hearts we never changed,
we threw it all away
could we go back once again?
I learnt to carry on,
I learnt to face another day,
without her, without her trace.
So close we nearly touched,
I almost took her hand in mine,
time can fall away
but nothing can change the man inside
or bring us back the love once we denied
