Fifteen years have come and gone
Since I last saw you standing at my door
Drunk and desperate I let you in
When you came crawling back for more
In the morning no embrace
Just a weird look on your face
As you hurried to the elevator dazed
I never saw you after that
But now I know I shouldn’t be amazed
You traveled round the world because
You needed to explore, to know yourself
I married someone gentle, had a child with her
And now there’s no one else
But the memories remain
Like an old injury’s pain
Dull at first but ever present in my mind
The future’s looking bright
Yet I still struggle just to leave the past behind
