and what if more than ten years have passed...

 and thousands of miles, 

and a new world and hundreds of souls at the crossroads. 

and the words have changed, but the rules are the same. Got lost and found again, was mute and deaf. 

It happens so easily. Not mute, but choose to keep the noise in, blind yourself, little firefly, keep the pain away. 

as if.... as if the night doesn't bring the horrors and the age doesn't take your breath away. As if the heart   changes its ways. 

there was a time, there in the middle, where the night was neon bright and loud. It allowed the blindness, it numbed the right places. But we are back here, with the same pain, the same heartbreak, and the same You that is a different you. 

lets us continue then...
