Clear Past, Clouded Future

I stare into the past and my heart starts to ache.
I get a clear picture of the way things used to be.
I see how happy I once was and it makes me sad to see
how far I've fallen from being that girl.
Where did I go wrong?
And why am I no longer the carefree girl I once was?
How did I go from being on top of the world,
to feelinglike I no longer belong?
As I gaze into familiar memories,
I come across loved ones that are no longer there,
but still remain anache in my heart.
Oh what I would give to make this ache go away.
But it won't.
Because deep down it knows that the ache is just a broken heart
still full of love.
Love for someone who no longer cares,
Love for the way things once were,
and Love for those willing to make this ache go away.
Because maybe one this ache disappears,
I will go back to being that happy girl.
But until then I will continue on watching a clear past
and gazing into a clouded future.
