From February to Spring Street- WIll I Ever Get There?

Spring in the air
Sunny weather, warmer now
No longer biting the skin
Spring in the air
Bringing with it new beginnings
And isn't that exciting, they tell me
New beginnings, refreshing
But there were new beginnings last summer
Sitting under the trees
Conversations taking us around the world
From Europe to North America
To the deepest, darkest parts of the soul
And back out again
Over beer and sunny smiles
In Eden for the first time
Going to the park
Playing catch like frolicking puppies
Running, hair shining in the wind
Falling down laughing
Moving to the lake
Sitting in the sand
Talking about the past
Then the future
New beginning for me
In every sense of the word
And it was in November
That she told me that he loved me
And that same night
In a burst of anger
He told me himself
Then cried
Because it was said
In a moment of sheer hatred
That new beginning began
And finally came to an end
One week ago
And I find myself
Yearning for an old beginning
To begin again
