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
