I remember the long nights of stars
how the people came to dance until sunrise

That feeling I once had
where the trees became gardens
sanctuaries for me to idly gaze at

These nights
of cold suns and buried hearts
They reminded me of a time
where the rocks on the ground
were meant to be kicked

The coldness of the eastern river,
that smell that ran its nose through the cupboards
wafting in the air

Those nights
summer nights
Sunrises and laughter
Today I simply wonder where those nights have gone

Am I the one who left
or did they simply move on

I remember the stars below the fire
For this I never forgive
I will never drop my desire.

"Am I the one who left
or did they simply move on"

Sometimes it's tough to look back.
And time does have a way of being gone.


Enjoyed Tomer.
