I stare across the rode
As the rain beats on the roof of my car
It's been 10 long years
Alot has changed since then
But it's still the same house
Only know it holds new memories
For a different family.
But my memories begin to flow back
I know the inside like the back of my hand
To me it still had the warmth
The warmth of my family
That I left a decade a go
My eyes water
As I remember
It was raining just like it was today
And being 18 I was rebellious
Itching to be what I thought was free
My mothers pleas
And my father's silent cry
Still haunt me to this day
I try not to dwell on this memory too long
But it's hard not to have regret
It leaves a bitter taste in your mouth
So many other memories come back
That have not been visited in awhile
My mouth pulls up into an invouluntary smile
The rain stops and I sigh
And I start the car
A tear escaps
As I give one last glance
To the house that I called a home
