A night alone can bring you clarity

Taking in life, watching, it shows sincerity

People are strange as “The Doors” once sang

Interesting that being solo not with the gang

We see more, see truths about others,  and us

Scary sometimes, who do we trust

Just pointing out there is no “truth”

Just people existing, doing their thing... I am no sleuth

Discovering, I have had it all wrong

The important things are now all gone

Time has been wasted, I feel ashamed
I kept you close and it was me I blamed
Blamed myself for not giving more
Blamed myself for being unavailable and more
Our distance grew over many years
I should have left sooner and shed some tears
How ironic it is that I was so self absorbed
It was your distance and lack of interest I should have observed
It makes sense now the inability to repair
You had a long term plan that you were unable to share
Pretending day by day to be on my side
But preparing for another, that you continue to hide
Simply sad is all I can say
Cloaking us as friends was part of your play
Good luck with your life I wish you the best
It’s time to stop deceiving give it a rest
She’s so sweet the people say
So sweet so sweet, go away

Haven’t seen or heard from “you” for awhile
Life changes, things move quick, when will it be time for us to smile
Just be who you chose to be
Regrets, give them up, It will allow you to see
See the truth and your being
Find you path, walk it, own your life, it is freeing...

True that tomorrow’s are not a “for sure”

Often we wait for something more

More never comes and we are often lost

Lost because the waiting came with a cost

A cost of time, memories and connections

Pause for a moment... take time for reflection

Do it now... or later will be too late

Just be you, choose and discover your fate

So it’s time for me to see

See the person I can be

Not the man that currently exists

But a lover, a friend who you can’t resist

I will find love I am sure

Love that is impossible to endure

For I cannot give my all

For fearing, for anticipating, the expected  fall

A fall I won’t recover

So I will move on to another

My friend, my classmate, we lived our lives
Many years slipped by but we have survived
Now we find time to connect
It is important and something I expect
I expect to reach out and keep you near
There is a bond that I endear
I value our youth and where we are from
I am hopeful, and value the friends we’ve become
I know you needed time to get away
But, I am certain you will find your way
Just believe in, trust  the path you seek
And your life, the love you have will be complete

Why do I sit alone and think
My voice inside so loud and clear
In just the time it takes to blink
I quickly realize all my fears

The day is slipping quickly past
Night will arrive oh so fast
I’ll have a choice make
Life and love is at stake
