I Want to Go Back

I want to go back.

I want to go back to the land where the spring rises from the ground

And falls from the sky

And meets in the middle at our lips.

I want to go back.

I want to go back to the place I first rode a bike on my own

And held a boys hand

And sang songs to myself.

I want to go back.

I want to go back to the place where I learned the sound of my own voice.

And learned to hear other’s

And laughed and cried with them.

I want to go back.

I want to go back to the palce that I left you when I was doing the leaving

And I swore I wouldn’t miss you

And yet I still missed you.

I want to go back.

I want to go back to where I last felt whole and complete

And I loved others

And they loved me.

I want to go back.

Please

Dear God

Please

Let me go back.
