Is that you
Standing there
I can’t see
Past the past
Is that you
Standing there
The one who said
We would last
Forever
Thrown away
All your trinkets
Teddy bears
And notes now false
Tossed aside
Dreams of tomorrows
Hide inside
All my sorrows
Said goodbye
To favorite places
Gone away
Familiar faces
Is that you
Standing there
Is that you
Without a care
Is that you
Standing there
Can’t believe
You would even dare
Come back to me
And my home
For these busy streets
Make me feel alone
Hold me now
Like before
Tell me how
You adore
To see me now
As once I was
To love again
Just because
You see me
Standing here
I look away
Although you’re near
Come back to me
My one true love
Come back and see
I’ve risen above
All the petty
And hate
And now you’re back
As if by fate
Is that you
Still standing there
Don’t you know me
And the love we shared
Oh, please excuse me
I meant you no harm
I mistook you
For my misplaced
Lucky charm

Wow. Wonderful, Karl. Could be used for song lyrics. The last stanza hit me like a brick.
