In a language all but lost
It comes to my mind
Visions I had thought gone
Lost inside me, some splended sign.
I have chosen this path
For which I leave all
Everything I know of
Everyone I have loved.
My pain disapears
As the miles scream away
My youth comes to me
But more mature on this day.
I am not concise at being,
Being what I am
I have heard the tails before
Of lost souls and bitter friends.
Yet I go, and still on
Traveling the night
The stars my companions
City lights few and far.
To you my love
I must seem the fool,
To travel this road
Attempting to find my heart.
To ask you to let me go
To ask you for freedom
To call to you, my pain
My sorrow that I have gained.
To let go what binds
And find our seperate lives
To know I still care
Though from miles away
   In Northern air.

-----------------
its never foolish for one to try to find themselves and their heart,
letting go is always the hardest thing a heart has to do ...
one of loves hardeds learned lessons...
I'm still learning ...the hard way.
well written thoughts Michael,
I liked the reference of looking North.
I hope you find all that your searching for.
take care

I think I could need - this in my life
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Exceptional work, I love the ending, very well written. That's the hard part the breaking up.  Very very good.
