Reasoning

I wish that I could tell you
that it would all be okay in the end.
This is just another stepping stone,
in the journey called life that we must endure.
I wish that I could tell you that hearts dont break,
or the water wont fall from these things called eyes.
I would be lying, so I don't.


I've been down the road before,
but I feel as though there are boundaries.
Walls that I can't cross, doors I can't seem to reach
to get in touch with you.
I wish that we didn't have to learn on our own,
the hard way out.
It kills me to see your pain the way you try to hide it.
I know you miss her, I miss him too.


It's been years, and we can't get over the fact that
a piece of our soul is missing.
I look into your eyes and see the same child,
lost and cold, the one I see in myself.
I wish that it wasn't me,
and I wish that it wasn't you.
But it was, it is, it will be.


The fact that I don't know who I am when I wake up
drives me crazy every morning.
I wish I had that smile to tell me,
everything happens for a reason and not to worry.
