Spring

Spring comes softly through the street Open windows, lighter air People smiling as they pass Something gentle everywhere I don't miss the way it was I don't wish to go back home But some days feel warmer When the past walks with me alone Spring feels quieter today In the middle of this town I'm not longing, I'm not lost Just remembering somehow Every step I take is mine I'm exactly where I stand Still the season feels complete When I think of where I began Trees are waking in the park Coffee cooling by my side Life is moving, calm and slow Nothing here I need to hide I don't miss the way it was I don't carry any pain Just a softness in the air Like a familiar name Spring feels quieter today In the middle of this town I'm not longing, I'm not lost Just remembering somehow Every step I take is mine I'm exactly where I stand Still the season feels complete When I think of where I began Some things stay without a sound Like a light you always know They don't pull you backward They just gently help you grow Spring feels lighter when I smile At the years that shaped my hands I don't need to be back there I just carry where I began
