One Glance Back

Don’t let yourself be scared, be confident. Don’t hold your soul back, just let it take flight. Standing alone in an empty room admiring art from pictures of me and you. One glance back at the life you knew before, One last tear that wasn’t meant to fall, One last embrace to know you were real, One last breath to make sure you were okay; One glance back. Sheltered in your arms, a curtain of love binds me. Hunger in your kiss, to know that you need me. But I’m standing alone in a crowded room filled with people admiring pictures of me and you. One glance back at the life you knew before, One last tear that wasn’t meant to fall, One last embrace to know you were safe, One last breath to make sure you were awake; One glance back. You left me on my own worried sick about you, holding onto all that was left of you. The memory of you walking away, with my silent prayer hoping you would be okay. . . One glance back. . . One last tear. . . One last embrace. . . One last breath. . . One glance back at the life you had before, One last tear that was meant to fall, One last embrace to hold me through the night, One last breath just to see the mornin’ light. One last glance.
