I look at the way things stand between us
And I can feel the balance has shifted
It’s so imperceptible that no one else can guess
That a little apart we’ve drifted
I look at the times we’ve shared and the way things are
And I sense a slight new awkwardness
We still talk and laugh and share
But there is that slight shift nonetheless
I know that you’re still a friend I can trust
And...
I Wonder...
I wonder, staring at your picture,
Whatever happened to our grand plans for the future?
But you chose a different life,
And now we’ve grown older.
Should I hold on to those dreams, I wonder...
I wonder, staring at the memory,
Whatever happened to the time when I was young and carefree?
But I chose to be responsible,
And those adventures now seem like a blunder.
Can I atone for my mistakes,...
The Easy Way Out...
Would my life be easier if
I had the courage
to take that smallest step
that could shatter the peaceful mirage?
Would my life be easier if
I had the nerve
to make that difficult decision
that could destroy illusions that others preserve?
Would my life be easier if
I had not one regret
About things said and done
To simply learn and accept, forgive and forget?
Would my life be...
In Pursuit
What is it that we wait for?
Will we ever find that elusive “something more”?
What is it that we so frantically seek?
Will we ever make it up the insurmountable peak?
What is that we’re afraid of?
Will we ever accept that which others scoff?
What is that we long for, yearn?
Will we ever learn to unlearn?
Chasing a future that is uncertain
Today’s small pleasures we shun
Chasing dreams...
A Different Crossroads
There will be no tearful farewells
There will be no idealistic promises
To remain friends forever
There will be no wistful sighs and no one will cry
This will be a different goodbye!
There will be no clear directions
Only a million different options
Awaiting and beckoning are difficult paths
There will be no comforting beds, no welcoming abodes
This will be a different crossroads...
There...
