As If You Have Never Been

As if you have
never been here the leaves change.
the snow falls.
the rain drips.
The sun burns.
As if you have
Never been here
Life keeps moving
There’s no stop or pause button,
the earth keeps spinning
and the clock still ticks.
As if you have
Never been here
I’m smiling, laughing.

You put a hold on everything
but I kept moving.
As if you have
never been here
everything seems so clear.

As if you have
never been here
I listen to my friends
and hear them.
For the first time they make sense
and I’m not deinning their words anymore.

As if you have
never been here
my world is brightening up.
My friends saw the abuse
now they see the freedom.

As if you have

never been here.
