Favorite Quote:
Live the wonderful life that is in you.
-Oscar Wilde


So you say
you don't want
to escape into
The Great Perhaps;
never ever
and nothing
I could ever say
would change your mind.
And I said nothing
because it still
baffles me
why anyone (!!!)
would kill a crazy
childish dream,
even when
it's impractical
or "TOO HARD"
or impacts their life
more than mine
(which is total crap;
like I don't have
"A LIFE" to lose.)
Whne you asked
"Are you MAD?"
I choked and
whimpered disappointed
because that's what you say
when something falls apart;
not to say
I'm not disappointed
It's just a little
more than that;
"Running Away"
isn't really what
I wanted to do
rather see if
you would chance
The Impossible with me.
And you said
NO, never ever,
not even a little
part of you
(The place where everyone
wants to believe)
wanted to go.
So it hurt,
and that's why I hung up;
because by saying
NEVER EVER (!!!)
to The Great Perhaps,
you said never ever
to me being enough
to make you want
to chase The Impossible.
So I say,
when am I
Enough?
