Peter Vector - Memories on the Lake

On the lake today I remembered

You, what we had, what we were, what happened to us
I remembered somewhere out there in that big lake was the memory
The memory of me and you, playfully swimming in the water
Feel the air in our hair as we rode around 
The first time I every kissed you in that bathroom
The feeling of holding you in my arms
The pain of letting go that day
The pain of letting you go that one night
The pain of knowing you'd never be mine again
The scars that seared my arms you left
The tears I cried at night alone

Like a wound opened up again after all these years
It is still tender and fresh
I still hurt so much
Do you hurt too?

We go throughout life
Never looking back because we never want to see
Those mistakes we made
The hurt we caused someone
The things we did or said

But, we made it.
Didn't we? We moved along.
Better than before, it was a lesson learned
A relationship shatter but out of the ashes 
Was something better than we ever thought of possible
Someone was waiting for us the whole time
She was for me
And he was for You

That's all there is to say,
Goodnight

Peter Vector
