Cleansing Of The Soul

Cleansing Of The Soul

A Much needed cleansing of the soul  

Endless thoughts that are racing rampant through my mind, 
And for the life of me
I’m trying my  best to chase them down.
How can it be after all these years I now have much deeper feelings 
And an even greater appreciation than at any time before?
Whereas it didn't seem to matter much during our life together.
Our relationship were based upon other things not how we felt
Why is it at this junction,  I’m feeling closer to you?
Than I ever did during the times we spent in each other's life
It’s all so unlike me, to even dwell in what happened yesterday
Especially when it involves that part of me I once laid to rest
For whatever the reasons, I need to find saneness among insanity
What does it mean, why do I feel fate has laid out a path for us.
In spite of our very best effort we can't do anything but take it
Is it because we need to bring closure to that which has been overdue
Especially since I’m fully aware that you’ve created another life
I wouldn't quit on any situation until it has been resolved
This one is no different, thought it remains to be unsolved
Is it guilt of genuine feeling I’ve should felt a long time ago?
Isn't it ironic after all the years  since we have even spoken.
Even way back then we didn't bare our souls very much
Thus it's not as though, we need to do serious catching up
Certain feelings went unspoken we just left it at that
Yet, the more we reminince the easier those times are to relive
Rarely a day goes by that I don’t think of you in some way.
Whether an it’s old song a photograph or something rendering
The simplest thought of you still brings a smile to my face
For that brief moment I’m happy, and at peace with myself
Then I remember it was a thought of you then I’m sad again
How can it be said I care more about you as a person now
When there was every opportunity to show that I cared them
It seemed the situation or the moment never presented itself
When it did it would have been for gaining an advantage
No one that would have been heartfelt, the way it should’ve
It’s obvious that a long time ago two of us got on with life
It seemed we came to end of an era there were no future between us
This unlikely moment is the nicest I’ve known in a very long time
While it is the least expected, it is also fleeting and temporary
How could I have ever known that at this point in my life
You would resurface as such important part of my being
In that they’re that part of you that has always been a part of me
Regardless to all the uncertainties and unanswered questions
I will forever cherish the memory and be grateful that you were
Albeit there is no denying, it was I who initiated the contact
Even under the cloud of doubt it would be a good thing to do.
I did it anyway, whether my doubts will eventually bear me out
You are the bridge that have connected my present with the past
I’ve asked myself was it because I’ve had some sort of an epiphany?
Or is it because I’m going through yet another metamorphosis
Do I need to forget the feelings, in order to purge my thoughts
And accept them for what they were, a cleansing of the soul
