I have thought deeply, cried and denied
That I needed you by my side,
I can make my way without friend or foe,
Leave me to get on with things I know.
But, I must go back feel the buzz of people,
Traffic and life, just every day burden and strife.
I have lived in my solitude of security,
Felt warm and smug, even when I heard the news
I just gave a shrug.
Country life is fine when
You need time to pause
And reflect upon which course
To take in life, it gives you time
To absorb, become aware,
You really do have time
To stand and stare.
The time is right, I must go back.
The peace and tranquillity were beautiful
But I feel this need to share
The stress and strain once more
Of how I used to live.
