Adift

Set adrift on an ocean of memories

Washed by the waves

To the middle of nowhere

In the middle I stay

With no idea how I'll pull through

The shore behind me beckons me to come back

And I feel a hollow ache in my heart

How did I drift away

From a shore where I felt so safe?

Once upon a lifetime,

A time not so long ago

I thought I'd stay

At that shore forevermore

But in a heartbeat, everything changed

I felt myself being pulled away

One wave after the other

I tried to fight

I tried to swim back

But the waves were much too strong

And I had to surrender myself

To the flow of the waves

From a distance,

I could see another shore

It wants me to move on

And look back no more

I know I can't stay adrift forever

I have to choose

One shore over the other

Which one?

Where to go

I simply don't know

I'll just let the waves

Take me to my destiny
