Past
By Tim Egan
Prisoner of my own feelings, tormented by my consciousness
Unable to break the bindings created by my own thoughts...
We can never share the innocence of a first kiss
Virgin virtue can never again be obtained
Lovers in the past have taken away the childlike ways that we had once
We can never share this modesty
A strong found love too late to salvage each other's purity
But there is no reason to feel betrayed
Or even cheated in life and love
True happiness is found in the soul
nothing more than healing
We must know and experience to understand
We have loved and been hurt
Now we know to be true to each other
And not to inflict the past felt hard
in the future we have together
We must take the begotten purity
and forge it to our serenity
Live life happy by the feelings
that have given times true meaning
Be in love....
not the past.
