For Carrie

It's been ten years since I left that day,

It's time to move on.

Give me no more tears, no more pain,

Just accept that I am gone.


I have wandered long, far and wide,

Been to places I once meant to.

But when I come back to your side,

You're still wondering where I went.


I didn't plant my flowers that day,

I left them in the rain.

So I'll send you on your way,

And I'll see you soon again.


I always hoped you would forgive me,

As I watched you cry out loud.

Now I know that you don't need me,

But you always made me proud.
