Amusement Park

The rollercoaster of love seems it has made its final stop
I got off feeling lonelier than I was before I got on
Looking back at my seat I could tell I had outgrown it
Puppy love ended with the airplanes and swings

The next ride will start soon
But for the real rides the wait is long
Patience is a virtue
So I’d rather wait and ride right
Instead of rushing and riding wrong

I have a lot of new habits
More than a few personal issues
All of them including the new pains
I respect the reason for the season
And recognize the necessity of the change

I’m learning to be my number one priority
I now recognize the importance of my own happiness
For so long in front of me my heart was being dangled
To the point where I felt like my mind was being strangled
I can’t afford to lose me making you happy

I’m focused on getting my life straight
Making a better me for ME
With dreams of those improvements one day complimenting her
I fantasize about that magic carpet ride rising higher and higher
And the butterflies in my stomach lasting forever

I snap back and fall into life’s long line of reality and realize
That today I am done with forcing relationships
What is to come will be just that
Not satisfied yet content with being single for now
Just live and learn to give time “time”

The rain is far from permanent
The sun is bound to shine
I am far from giving up
My ride is merely under construction
And only temporarily shut down

I am love
That fire still burns here
Though my eyes bury the pain
And my heart hides the scars
My soul still remembers loves’ bumper cars

IT always seemed as though when I went to an Amusement Park...the ride that I really wanted to ride...((you know the FUN rides, the rides that after you get off your STILL laughing and talking about how GREAT it was, the ride that got u feeling like butterflies were flying in your stomach from start to finish, the ride that ALL of your friends were too afraid to ride so u had to ride it alone))were always "IN CONSTRUCTION", "RENOVATING", or just "SHUT DOWN". It made me upset that the ride that was the BEST at the AMUSEMENT PARK was not working and I had to wait till I visited tha park the next time to ride it. And everytime I came back to ride that ride.....it was ALWAYS.....WORTH THE WAIT!!!

this reminds me of the song "emotional rollercoaster" by vivian green...but i think everyone has to come to that point and realize that they must do for themself & and make themselves happy before they can do for anyone else...take your time Rob.
