Predicament
Posted on: September 17, 2014
Is it wrong to yearn to remain naive forever? Is it wrong to clutch at the strands of fantasy that leaves one pining for more? Is it wrong to feel one’s soul crash at the end of a tale? I want to live like this forever. In a dream land. Surrounded by all the people I love. Doing the things I love. I want time to stand still. I want to tell to time “I’m happy now. Please, stay this way for a little while longer.”
Oh I don’t want to grow old and serious. I don’t want to talk about the weather and politics and be responsible. I want to be carefree like a bird that’s just spread it’s wings. I don’t want to feel the disappointment of failure or weep over the loss of a loved one. Ignorantly blissful, I want to live this way.
Smiling at small things, laughing at the lesser things in life. Enjoying the normal things I have with me. Yearning for the finer but never needing it. Ah!
Told.

If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
If you don’t search, you’ll never find.
You long for things that you can’t have.
You spend your time biding it away.
You sleep at night on your feather bed,
The clouds above your head are gray.
And you look at me and tell me,
“I can’t seem to live.”
If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
If you don’t search, you’ll never find.
My naive, foolish thing. Oh my.
I spent the day looking for you,
Your own footsteps had disappeared.
You told me you’d gone, gone to find.
The answers you were looking for.
Oh my, my, my.
How I wish I hadn’t told you.
I found you there, by the pool.
Your hair glistened in the sun.
And your hands were in another’s,
Your smile seemed so very calm.
Oh my, my, my.
If I hadn’t told you.
