Now I See

Life
It’s funny how
It works out
In funny ways
Love
It may be all we need
It’s a promise without a guarantee
The first kiss
You still taste it
It’s just time
Time wasted
Now I see
Who you really are
You are not a mystery
You are a transparency
I can’t believe I ever fell
Lost
And I was feeling low
Without a compass
Or knowing where to go
Time
Pictures of you and me
Your voice is fading out
An ancient memory
You lied to me
And I let you
Lied to me
It was stupid
Why’d I do that
Fine with me
You won’t have those looks forever
Finally I can see that
You’re a weed that
Needed weed whacked
Desperately
