Tracks in the Snow

Folder: 
5-Reflection

A dream is only a dream.

And Love is nothing but love.

You may believe that dreams are pure fantasy,

but they come true often enough.

Sometimes you try so hard you get skeptical,

because of the way things seem.

But that's not the way that you should stay.

You should rest on what you dream.

But the dreams that I've been having lately

make me see how love can come and go.

And I can't understand why it hurts so bad

to see the tracks in the snow.



A woman is only a woman.

Though sometimes they seem like more.

And when I first met you I let my heart

pull me up from the floor.

You know it's hard to find real truthfulness.

You won't find it out in the street.

And when a girl is a friend and also a love

that's the one you should keep.

But the women I've been seeing lately

have left me feeling really low.

And I can't understand why it hurts so bad

to see the tracks in the snow.



And the snow may fall for hours

until none of the tracks even show.

Still I don't understand why it hurts so bad

to see the tracks in the snow.

I don't know as we will ever have the answer to the pain of the tracks in the snow,the dulling of or ending of a relationship that seemed so beautiful. people do change and sometimes with that change comes sorrow to the other one who is not accepting of it. Been there.I was married 15 yrs w /2 kids seperated in 92 and some how you never really get over the pain of it coming to an end.Yes you move on,but inthe recesses of memory it remains.Perhaps to remind us nothing really is totally perfect after all. It can be wonderful but not perfect because of idiosyncrocies because of change but that is the human condition....
