There were days
That I must say
I really paid for my mistakes
Nights I sat so wide awake
It was hard to take
I never dreamed
You’d come again
I didn’t think I should pretend
You had no reason left to bend
I thought we’d reached the end
I can say that
Most of what went wrong
Will fade to black
The memory won’t last long
I know I won’t crack–
This time I’ll be strong
Now that I’m back
Where I belong
You know I know it
Thought I’d be kept at bay
And I won’t blow it
Now that you’ve leapt this way
Not sure how to show it,
Unsure except to say
I’m so swept away
And when you ask,
What I have learned
How will you know you won’t get burned
Let’s just say I’ve crashed to earth
And maturity is earned
