A Letter From The Future Me

Listen up young man

with that lopsided grin

tighten that upper lip

point up that chin

I know life can get tough

after unrequited love

but remember there's a plan

coming from above

when push comes to shove

dig down deep

see what's creepin underneath

attached to your seat

is a belt

undo it

drive that car into a tree

if that's who you want to be

then so be it

but that's not how I see it

I keep dreamin

seeing you happily married

with kids

on vacation skiing

if that's what you want

and it's in your heart

then believe it

cuz believe me

I've lived long enough to see it

didn't you dream it?

yes of course

so have faith and courage

that'll keep you on course

your love will find you

but first you must discover

what it takes to be you

or the me

that you so aspire to be

can't you see

from who this letter is coming

your future you

the one you've always dreamed to be

I came true

and this letter I write

is stamped with love

a kiss on the cheek

words cannot speak

how proud I am to be

the you you've always wanted

I bet you can't wait to see

until that time

find patience diligently

stay true to your friends

your family

and be happy

 

Sincerely,

The Future Me
