"The journey is the reward."
- Steve Jobs
I laid my eyes upon you,
hoping to fall on you
but I saw you look on to the other man
as I tried to converse with you.
You just want to be,
as all girls seem to say,
"good friends for now"
with lithe or no emotion.
For I take my last red rose,
not knowing my bleeding heart
becomes separated and lonely once again,
with you parting my once warm body.
Taking time to walk life's roads,
twisting around unknown bends,
only seeing what's ahead
just prior to arriving.
Left in the cold winter breeze,
standing all alone,
staring beyond horizons
that were once shared together.
I hope to take my eyes off you,
wishing only to forget you,
but from the bottom of my broken heart,
losing you bothers me quite the least.
oping only to forget you.
I just wasn't able to express
the many feelings and the lyrics to sing,
towards the one woman
I'll love until the end of time.
