Mountains Moss and Heather

 

 

 

I miss you so, my lovely home

The land of laughs and cheer

The loss so deep, I feel great sorrow

Full of salty tear

 

My city, full of such life

Character, heart and soul

I miss you so, my lovely home

Inside, a widening hole

 

A hole I cannot seem to fill

Though try as might may be

There's nowhere else that can compare

To this I only see

 

I visit you from time to time

Romantic notions to relive

The memories, experience

Compassion I can give

 

I belong to you, and you to me

For now it cannot be

You take such space up in my heart

That everyone can see

 

Left my family, left my friends

Left the younger me

So full of wonder, excitement, happy

Feeling oh so free

 

But youth grows old, wearisome

Changes priority

Lost in time, I gave myself to another

Now my responsibility 

 

My heart is full of you and he

I must not look behind

To things that were, now not are

The clock cannot rewind

 

But now my loves, I sat goodbye

To one of you for now

The land that is my history 

My heart I can't allow

 

To let you pull me from my life

The joy that comes from here

I have a life so new, so simple

Full of other cheer

 

Opportunities come in many ways

That could not be from you

I have space for both inside my heart

And others can be too

 

I leave my mark, you leave yours too

We bond when we're together

I say goodbye, until next time

Mountains, moss and heather.
