Lost yet again
on your quest for peace
but undaunted as you unleash
your strength into the wind
and although the shadow
seems to mask your fear
caged in the stillness of the night
your dream is holding you up high
even in the threshold of defeat
and as you tread the ways
of redemption
your undiminished hope
hanging on your shoulder
has escaped from your thoughts
just for tonight, yes
at this moment
you just want to be a kid
innocent and playful
enjoy the touch of your feet
running down, jumping
upon this empty lustrous field
don't want to do anything
just lie down and enjoy the peace
of being alone,
thinking and remembering
those innocent hugs
and kisses, still seeking
thinking what might have been
had you stayed as she wanted
but it was never your choice
as you were called and be obliged
to be on the front line
and when the sun comes up
those thoughts will yet again
be neatly tucked away
hoping that once in a while
she remembers you...if only
she knows, you want to live
because of her...go home
alive and whole..

if only she knows.
