Running barefoot through the meadow green,

Beautiful flowers as far as the eye can see.

Once upon a sunrise this view was shared,

Once long ago, you said you really cared.

Now I run. I try to outrun this heart wrenching pain,

I try to forget that I even know your name.

Your face is everywhere, your voice calls to me,

I scream my pain trying to forget your memory.

We shared thoughts and hopes, a lifetime of dreams,

And now it just does not mean anything.

Lying down in the meadow green,

Trying to forget you were my everything.
