There is no place for me here
Where they dream of comfortable lives
Talk about football and weekend plans
Holding hands as they walk down aisle four
Split the grocery bill then drive home to his place
That will someday become their home
And oh how we wanted to travel and see things
Skydive, mountain climb
Travel to Africa, build houses, learn languages
And just be
But then that job offer was too good to pass up
And it’s so much easier to raise a kid with family close by
So we put it off for now
Just for now, for a little while
Until the timing is right
Until we have more money, vacation days
Then there was the new car, the college tuitions, and that trip with her parents down to Grand Cayman for their 60th wedding anniversary
Now it’s graduations and grandkids
What happened to Africa?
They still go shopping
Together, sometimes
He pays with their credit card, she pushes the cart
They had a comfortable life
