Only through burning vision
can I see clearly now
remembering every word
I leave them all somehow

Only through the storm
can I break away from rain
move on, and wash it off
a raw and bleeding stain

Perhaps in another time
love shall renew my path
for once I loved so totally
now, facing aftermath

You drew me in and loved me
or was it all a lie
It haunts me even still
in non-belief, I cry

For fear ruled your emotions
and stifled all the joy
I wanted a man to love
I let go now, of this boy

let go
let go

Yes, sometimes we grow up and they stay the boy who's not ready to commit. Hopefully you will find the man of your dreams.

Emily, a heart tugger this one is and a great write too!

The verse that struck a chord with me the most is "Only thru the storm can I break away from rain"

Enjoyed the read
