worlds apart

See this SoundCloud audio in the original post

When I hear your voice I am taken back
To a simpler time
When all that mattered was playing outside until the street lights came on
Our biggest wonder was what would be for dinner
We didn't have a care in the world

But life has changed all that
Things has grown more complex
Decisions and circumstances have pulled us apart
Ripped at the seams
With little hope of finding our way back

I long for the simpler days
Filled with carefree laughter
Riding our bikes
Respect and love
A dedication to one another

The current roads we are traveling feel bleak
Going in opposite directions 
With little light to find our way back
Home a distant memory
Everything feels light years away and worlds apart
