• Fading memories
    Of a past life in shambles
    Haunt me while I dream awake
    Teaching me my happiness is but a gamble

    And as I lay beneath this tree
    With music soaring softly
    Its imaginary picturesque image
    With mountains being oh so lofty

    If I dream away my life
    And ignore this taunting sorrow
    Then I'll be nothing but a loon
    Who forgets about tomorrow

    And if I dwell upon
    The horrors of my past
    And let them engulf my being
    My existence surely will not last

    So heed my plan if you please
    Of self reliance and preservation
    A moral sense of reality
    Or else I be pulled away by temptation

    I refuse to believe I may only
    Be happy when someone is near
    I'll depend upon my self to forget
    That indeed unhappiness was here

    So remind me not of the past
    And please ignore my treacherous sinning
    Be a dear friend and stay for now
    Least I be right from the beginning.
