I Knew - Mind.In.A.Box

when I think back now that so much time has passed,

I must have known that it just would never last.

when I look back now that I have seen so much more,

all that was hidden seems to come to the fore.

I feel like it all comes back to me,

and I see that I had always known.

I’m afraid that what I had failed to see,

means all there ever was is now gone.

when I think back now how confused I was,

blind to the fairest seed whence it all arose.

when I reflect on myself now all alone,

I know that all I should have done is hold on.

when I look at myself hiding in the dark,

I feel deep inside I still yearn for that spark.

when I close my eyes I can still see the light,

but back then I was so afraid of its might.

I feel like it all comes back to me,

and I see that I had always known.

I’m afraid that what I had failed to see,

means all there ever was is now gone.
