Could It Have Worked?
I am facing a storm in my life.
I bide my time & avoid the strife.
I handle it in my usual way.
Waiting for the right time to say.
This will pass like all before it.
Time is a good repair kit.
Things like this can’t be avoided.
There is no way to destroy it.
Just take it in stride & roll along.
Things will be normal before long.
I wish you the very best.
May you find happiness.
I hope you find along your way.
Someone who will make your day.
You deserve the very best.
No reason to second guess.
Our connection caused sparks.
It really set our worlds apart.
This will pass like all before it.
Time is a good repair kit.
Things like this can’t be avoided.
There is no way to destroy it.
Just take it in stride & roll along.
Things will be normal before long.
Don’t suggest there is a way.
Don’t say it will work out o.k.
If you try to nurture the spark.
It might ignite your heart.
The result would be tragedy.
It is not a way to be free.
It wouldn’t work out by and by.
We are too different, so don’t even try.
This will pass like all before it.
Time is a good repair kit.
Things like this can’t be avoided.
There is no way to destroy it.
Just take it in stride & roll along.
Things will be normal before long.
She has accepted my final plea.
She has gone away from me.
If it could never work out,
Why do I feel like a roust about?
