This Mirror Echos Voices While The Canyon Reflects Self

I looked into her eyes
While I whispered confessions
Admittances lingered on softened tongues
When did the past get so in control
Of everything our futures can be?
I conceded
That's a lie
I halted mid-sentence
And swam in the murky gray silence that followed
Shortly thereafter
I started right back where I left off
Blessed be thy nature
Or at least my nature
Or the nature of myself
Better to forgive and forget
Than grow up alone
This is my life
He said
I agreed and smiled
You can only achieve what you set out to do
And what you let yourself accomplish
Once we arrive at the destination
I'll turn around and go back
Because the journey is always the best part
That's when I hold your hand
And pull you with me
The mirror just echos our voices
And the canyons we've conquered
Are just hollow reflections of ourselves
We'll smile at the end of the day
Knowing I have won your heart
And while I whispered these confessions
She looked into my eyes
