A New Beginning

I sat by the beach alone. The sun was setting and the warm rays of the sun shone onto my face. The sound of the waves crashing onto the shore kept ringing in my ears. My heart felt at ease with this beautiful picture painted right in front of me, accompanied by the orchestra of the ocean. It was a perfect visual experience. Holding onto my i-pod, the song was on repeat mode. I was listening to No Way Back by 8mm. Her voice, my ears were so fortunate to be able to hear it. She went on singing the chorus " There's no way, you're coming back...There's no way, you're coming back..." By now, I had already realized that. I took a deep breath, trying to recall your scent and I wondered how long that would stay with me. A question I could not answer. As the song approached the final verse, she lashed out a constant repetition, singing "stay with me...stay with me...stay with me...stay with me...stay with me..." At this moment, I closed my eyes and I saw you. There was only your back view. Ironically, you walked slowly towards the setting sun where the sun and the ocean would meet and disappear. I opened my eyes and pressed the stop button. I looked up at the sun just before it merged with the ocean as one and smiled to myself. "It is a new beginning," I whispered.



I'm stuck
I'm out of luck
And trying to talk my way out of this
Even fog lifts, but not this
No not this

There's no way you're coming back
There's no way you're coming back
Babe, I know you never leave without
Your gun ...
But if you let it be and just sit down
And lay your head on me

We could leave
I'll dim the stars
We'll steal away from here
We'll run so fast and so far
We'll burn up these streets
Our mystery complete
The moon will die of shame

There's no way you're coming back
There's no way you're coming back
Babe, I know you never leave without
Your gun ...
But if you let it be and just sit down
And lay your head on me

There's no way you're coming back
There's no way you're coming back
Babe, I know you never leave without
Your gun ...
But if you let it be and just sit down
And lay your head on me ...

And just stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
