a Journey

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin’ to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything’s a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin’ to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Yeah, yeah.. Oh!

Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah...yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I!

I'm with you!
I'm with you!

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I!

I'm with you!
I'm with you!

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I,
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you

Lyrics courtesy of Avril Lavigne.

I was alone and fallen and no one was there to help me stand; or so I thought. Time has shown me otherwise. Life has once again moved on bringing me with it. New perspectives, new challenges, new footsteps have entered my life and I am revelling in the present, in the now.

But the past remains, dear and treasured in my heart.

I am a culmination of my past, my present, and the future that has yet to happen. I cannot stay in the past and try to live in my present as a relic of yesterday. Life calls for adaption, for change, for growth. That is why we have memories, to remember where we came from as we move on to life's present.
