Ten years is a long time not to see you at all. Ten years is a god awfully long time to wait for a call. Then one day arrives your letter, it says you?re doing fine. While reading my thoughts start wandering, in the far reaches of my mind I discover a box covered in dust and mildew. I pry open the lid, it?s full of pictures of you. The exact way that you looked on the day that we met. You were the first girl I loved, how could I ever forget? I remember those nights when we stayed up till dawn, I remember everything. I remember the way next day you seemed so withdrawn, I remember everything. Ten years is a long time not to see you at all. Ten years is a god awfully long time, how I suffered it all. Now here you stand before me after all this time. Long dormant feelings stir in me, in the far reaches of my mind there?s a gallery hall where my past is for view. I push open the door, it?s filled with pictures of you. On the day when you smiled in your innocent way. Let us talk for while ?cause I?ve got so much to say. I remember the two of us there on the beach. I remember you sitting there so out of reach. I remember your smell and your voice all too well And the way that I made you laugh. All those moments in time forever etched in my mind Like looking at photographs. Time heals all wounds, so they say. But the pain won?t go away. I remember the day when you told me goodbye. Whithered leaves on the ground, thunder clouds in the sky Tears falling like rain. I remember the pain. And I remember the shame. And I remember calling out your name in vain. Ten years is a long time to wait for a call. Ten years is a God-awfully long time. Still it?s better than hearing nothing at all. From Letras Mania
