An era gone by...

you are my madness

you are my sanity

you are my soul

you are my vanity

i learnt who i was

i learnt what is grey

i learnt i could be saved,

for me you'd pray

in depths of despair

your hand i held

in my own twisted way

happiness you spelled

the fate that i fought,

you taught me how to

its your smile i smile

in the bluest of blues

the long winding road,

the one that we took

it doesn't have an end

but pretty it looks

an era gone by,

another one I await

i know you will  be there

when i open that gate

its not a goodbye,

the one that I wave

it means that i love you

and i am trying to be brave
