For no reason I want to cry tonight
I want to be wrapped in a ball
And sleep until
The emptiness passes
It’s worse when there’s nothing to fix
When the I my thing holding me back
Is me
Allowing myself to bask in the happiness and love from yesterday
There is work to be done
And looming stress in the future
But living in the here and now
Is what’s important today
Time closes on this chapter that is us
Beautiful and bright and brilliant
No need for mourning
Because the beauty
Never ends
So until tomorrow
Time closes on this chapter that is us
Beautiful and bright and brilliant
No need for mourning
Because the beauty
Never ends
So until tomorrow
I didn’t just throw this year away
Waiting for uncertainty
To become reality
I didn’t throw the year away
Right?
The winds of change clobbered us all
Few had prepared
The rest of us were taken off guard
And had to scramble
Searching for scraps
And the pieces
To rebuild our lives
Can we erase what we want to forget?
Tear the chains
Ascend into heaven
Meet me at sunset
Where we can’t be found
It’ll be our secret
Safe and sound
Broken promises
Like falling rain
Soaking the ground
Sadness. Loss. Pain.
Reflecting on who I am and what I want
And all the questions and answers I pursued
I realize relationships are simple
Composed of love and compassion, yes,
Communication, yes,
Respect and trust and friendship, yes
But compromises – that’s when you may part,
Despite everything else being there.
Know what you are willing to bend on
And what you are not
Is this relationship worth the sacrifice?
Can you wait just a few months, a few years longer?
Love isn’t an end all
There are many fish in the sea
You just have to take the risk and swim
Drowning may be inevitable,
But you’ll never know unless you take the dive
