It's been a while

It's been a while.

Seasons have changed,

Skins have been restored.

Just my own, stays the same.

It's been a while.

The sun is gone,

And the snow arrived.

The birds flew away

To the promised lands.

I stayed, in the land of my own.

It's been a while.

Cars pass by,

People wave in all directions,

Going somewhere,

Saying the same old.

I, went nowhere.

It's been a while.

The rivers turned cold.

Neighbors packed

And houses fall empty.

Just my heart stayed, abundant.

It's been a while.

Everything changed

And nothing remained.

In this little while

That endures,

I'm gonna let myself be,

With a mug of some warm tea.

Cause it's been so long,

That time personified part of me.

Darling, it's been a while.
