Flashbacks

Why is it you start ignoring things
That once meant so much,
And then something happens
To remind you
And suddenly,
That old song is playing
Every time you turn around.

How can you move through life
In such a fog?
Not even realizing
That you're not happy?
And then someone calls
And you see it so clearly
That you want to run away?

How is that you can
Lie to yourself for so long
And never even care?
Then you see something
And the truth shines through.

It's strange the little things
That have such power
To bring down the walls

I have no idea on this one. It was in a pile with a bunch from 2001. Could be then, could be earlier, could be later. Sadly, I'm bad to write when I'm drunk. Tends to make dating them harder.
