The Day I Realized I am a Motel
As I grew older I began to see my friends fall in love.
I began to see them care for someone with a deeper passion than I have ever seen,
And I began to see him feel the same way for her.
As I grew older I began to try and fall in love,
But I began to learn that no one wants to stay the week in my head.
No one wants to learn the creeks in my corner;
To find the secret hiding spots that no visitors know.
That is when I began to realize that I am a motel.
A place for people to stay the night,
To give them a warm place to stay on their journey to their final destination.
But I am not a place where people find their home in;
I am not a place that after a long day
People come back to feel comfortable and happy.
I am a place where people come and go,
And never decide to stay.
I have spent way to much time tending to the ones who come to stay at sunset
The ones who watch the beauty with me
and tell me the words I have always wanted to hear
But these people who I watch sunsets with
Are never there to watch the sunrise with me.
They are never their for the birth of love
But just for the ending.
