Walking by the familiar roads
I felt the gusting winds
I shrugged, hugging my coat
As memories of us skips

I'm still wondering why
I came back to the same place where it all began?
Alone, walking on the very same road
Feet leading me back to where we've been

'Why am I still here?'
I asked myself alone in the orange colored woods
Why am I the only one here?
When I remembered there was two of us the last time

It was the same season when we met
In a lost cottage, around the heart of the forest
It was raining a lot and I met your gaze
And now there's two people soaked in the rain

It was nice meeting you
The feeling was foreign
And I never really knew
That by then, butterflies' love has started

The house in the middle of the forest was now ours
It filled with books, with bag of chips, and even fruits
There was a bean bag in a decorated room
A door to secure the cuddles shared by just us two

The rain I used to hate was loved
As I enveloped your being under the drizzles
We danced in the rain
We laughed and played

But then that was seasons ago
The leaves dried, the cottage was long gone
It was just me now, left alone
While you're happy with your new one

And I'm still wondering why
I still came back to the same place where it all began?
To remember our past? Why did my feet lead me here?
I'm here alone, feeling the left signs of the past
The place still exists but you're not here

I stared at the beautiful orange skies
With sad smiles, and tears in my eyes
I now realize I don't know where to begin
I was like a stray left beside a road, until it dims

It was so nice meeting you
The feeling was foreign
I never really knew
That the rain was supposed to end

But now, I guess
I should start moving my feet forward
Away from this road
Go outside of this Forest

To finally go like you once did,
It will never be easy but
I'll start my first steps, 
Baby steps
