Ash

I am ash that fell into the fire.

I am the spark that rose from the fire.

I am the spark that spun in the air.

I am the spark that danced in your eyes.

I am the ash that landed on your skin.

A time will come

A time will come

when you'll return to 

a safe place

a familiar shore

and ask

I lived here,

do you remember me?

And they'll answer.

I watched you learn,

I watched you grow,

Yes, I still remember you.

 

A time will come

when you'll return to 

a safe place

a familiar shore

and ask

I loved here, 

do you  still care for me?

 

And they'll answer

I heard your tears,

I shared your laughter.

Yes, I still care for you.

 

A time will come

when you'll return to 

a safe place

a familiar shore

and ask

I left here,

Do you forgive me?

 

And they'll answer

I applauded your plans,

I mourned your misfortunes,

expecting change,

there's nothing to forgive.
