The time it takes to grow
And love

Inside my heart
It aches

Remembrances
Reminders
Regrets

What is the next step
Who is the next one
Where do I start

My life
Almost never mine

It's hard to be
alone together

In groups of people
Yet lost in the crowd

My heart aches
Decisions not mine

For a change
It's out of my hands

But it's still in my heart.
