Once Upon A Time The Children Played

k.s. says:
I think this happens to a lot of people, and I have no idea how to go about it. I think the thing is, when you're little... very different people can easily be friends. But when you're older similarities melt away and ur more of a defined person... and sometimes those different people don't gel. So what do we do next when presented with the past? We could ignore it... maybe embrace the new relationship and try to make it work? I don't really know, I think the answer is a mystery...

the silent one says:
but i guess we deal with it when it comes around
k.s. says:
Yeah... I guess we just deal with it when it comes around.

Once upon a time the children played, and filled their days with laughter. Difference was limited to views on ice cream flavours, favourite superheros, and board games.
But like so many things, time moved by and time brought change. This change was more then some could withstand. It brought controversy and opinions, personality and character.
Seeing eye to eye, was suddenly so much harder. Somehow everything simple became complex.

The Heart Only Feels What The Eye Chooses To See

"I'll be here by the ocean just waiting for proof that there's
Sunsets and silhouette dreams
While my sand castle falls like the ashes of cigerettes and
Every wave drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours just to ask God the question
'Is everyone here make-believe?'
With a tear in his voice he said
'Son Thats the question,'
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?"


And so those are the dreams I hold in reality's light, just pretending that it will all change. Keeping my heart turned away from the truth and my eyes on the prize, because it's the only thing worth seeing.
My second biggest slip up is flinching and glancing back at what could have been... then looking forward and seeing all that could be, but not for me.
Even worse is the fate I shall likely suffer when I finally open my eyes. My ungrateful regard to everything so far will come alive. And when all I took for granted is one day gone, I'll know it's true worth. Though I never have before. My heart will finally feel all the hurt, but mostly the regret of the predicament trapping me inside.

Just For Right Now

Just for now I'll be happy. Because I feel light and free and I want to keep this part of me. Forever feel safe .... independent but not alone or lonely. Lifted to my feet, so ready to fly, but really just coast... for a little while. I'll land once again, maybe tomorrow or next week. I'll be grounded to the seas torn away from my skies. It won't last for long, because it never does. But what I know for sure is that it's beyond this moment. Cause happiness is all that really matters... just for right now.
