Trapped in time,
4 years go by,
With a return to form and a reconversion.
But it stays the same,
And paints a picture,
Of how the seas can change a man.
You can let time go by,
And dance around change like a spark around a blaze.
You can capitalize on demons from your past,
(Yes, they're still evil).
Last time I saw that lack of definition,
Materializing around a thick novel.
Now your eyes reflect a vivid image.
It's vivid because I can recollect,
Because last time,
In a dead soul's or lively heart's paradise,
4 years into the past was yesterday to you.

(don't worry, if it's not supposed to make you cry, it's just me. I tend to cry at weird times:P)
