Time

1:47am

It's kinda funny, the only thing telling the truth and going right is time.
It's the only thing that is true.

Nothing is going right.
Nothing seems to be working.
Nothing seems to going how I wish things would go.
I tried. I hoped. I prayed.

Still, the only thing that is right is time.
Maybe the answer comes with it.

Too late maybe. Too late for things to be. Or is it too early to say that it is too late?
Yet, again it is the only thing that is true, the only thing that is right.

Why Can't He Be You?

I asked him that question.

She rests not in your arms and shoulders
But on that guy who gives her comfort
And that is not you

She smiles at his little notes posted for her
A simple 'hi' from him brightens her day
A simple 'take care' from him makes her feel
like the most valuable diamond in the world.
Unfortunately, those words don't come from you

Wait a minute though, I know you say those words
I know you say 'hi' and 'take care'
Maybe they just don't come out right
Maybe you just don't sound sweet enough when you say it
Why don't you try to be like him man

I have to agree with her though that the simple things matter
A simple gesture means more than treasure
Too bad you ain't for it
Too bad you are not the man for it
Too bad you are not him

Why can't you be the man she seeks
Why can't you be the man to complete her
Why can't you be the man to love her
She won't let you

Why can't he be you?

Not You

I speak with you yet I don't hear you
I hug you yet I don't feel you
I kiss you yet I don't taste you
I hold your hand yet it's not you gripping

I know there is something wrong
I know that this is something I can't mend
or at least you wouldn't want to give me (us) the chance to

And now things have crumbled
Things have fallen
and you know how devastated I am
I have built a sand castle only to be washed away by the waves
I never had the chance to stop it, I guess I was at the mercy of it

Come to think of it I guess I made the biggest mistake myself
Why have I built the castle with sand rather than bricks?

Hang in there

Hi man! How are you doing? Things have been tough huh? Tell me about it man.
Things have been crazy lately.
I have seen you fall into bed like a frail leaf under the mercy of gravity; you just don't have much choice but to submit.
I have seen you made things that I know you know are wrong and still you are doing those things. I understand. No excuse though.
I have seen you try to cope, try to pick yourself up yet you still stumble.
I have seen you made a fool out of yourseif a lot of times. Maybe being a fool is better than being a dead fragment of the universe in existence. Existing yet not living.
Hang in there. I know you have a lot more to say and to do.
Again, just hang in there. It's either you lose or you lose more.

Don't worry. Things will be okay. I am hoping for it to happen. I am praying for it to happen.
Don't let the edge be the end. The bottom of that ledge is a new world. It may hurt. It will hurt.

Hang in there man.
