I Look

I looked back today.
To a place I had not been in a long time.
I found out a friend had died
I had not seen him in a longer time
I looked back at myself
To the time when I knew him
I looked back to who I was
Back in that time
A long time ago

I looked back today
To roads I used to ride on
I thought back to friends I used to ride with
To places and times I had been
I looked back at myself
To the time I knew them
To who I was when I was there
Back in that time
A long time ago

I looked back today
To laughter and memories long gone
Friendship and confidences and truth
I looked back at myself
To this time that I shared
To who I was when I was with them
Back in that time
A long time ago

I looked at myself  today
To the friends I know today
To the roads I ride today
To the places I go to today 
To the truth that is today
I look at myself today
I look at myself
I look
