REST OF MY DAYS
I couldn’t tell you
what I know
Or share all that I knew
And even if I wanted to…
There are some things
You can’t read,
write or say
Some things we
just gotta do…
I know that you’ll
surely understand
Why it seems I’ve been
hiding my head
in the sand
For you know that
all my life
I’ve been working
on my master plan
And wanting you
for my wife
Without us ever
even holding hands
Now there’s a chance
We might never
even meet
Let alone hug or kiss
Forget lying in between
And beneath
the same set of sheets
As I ask myself:
How did it come
to be like this?
From you saying
about the lake
When you were
looking up at the stars:
“You should
have been there”
Don’t you know I was…
Here within my heart
I know I made
my share of mistakes
But you know
my intentions always
came from the right place
I guess I blame my body
for being too far away
And know I always will
for the rest of my days
