RIDE TOGETHER
 
It was just one of those thoughts
Okay if I keep it in my head.
That would be okay with me.
I never should have wrote it down.
I have a habit of sending them off.
I should have just walked away,
nice & quiet like a rock in the woods
and blanket it on something rather than you & me.
 
You carved yourself pretty good in me.
I know that has nothing to do with me.
It's just the way you are.
How your face shines in light
& how your voice sounds post midnight.
Looking back is a heavy weight.
Feels like it surrounds my balance & step.
I'll have to work through pain, ride this out myself.
 
Could we ride together was my first words
that I ever had you hear from me.
I knew it would be your pain.
I never wanted you to hurt.
It wasn't our turn to forever ride together.
We still have to ride.
 
I close my eyes, there's your smile.
Your face on graffiti walls.
When the birds talk together.
When the church bells chimes and calls.
When the lights turn off at night.
I can't believe you're still running in my head.
You missing in my life has me beat up.
Dad said life's not fair.
