The Springtime Conundrum
It’s days this time of year
That fill me with such sadness
I know they’re great and bright,
But they remind me of times long by
Like the time he and I went out on the very last day
It gave me such hope
And such optimism
But it was not to be, a new reality took its place
I never expected this universe,
It hit me when I wanted it least
I always wanted to be with him
And now he’s far from my grasp
I cried like it was doomsday
For I knew my old life was gone
I had to face the truth
I could never return
And now I fear the same fate will befall you and I
I know we’re just friends, but
Somehow I don’t know what I’d do without you
You have become my life
I dreamed once that you put your hand on my shoulder
I don’t know why, you said it was longing for your hand
And so I didn’t mind
And it wasn’t real
I wish sometimes that my dreams were my reality
And my reality my dreams
I’ve never been lucky
But since I’ve found you, I haven’t been alone
Reality’s just so boring at times
I like to make my own worlds
But sometimes my worlds crumble my sanity
That’s what they’re supposed to do, isn’t it?
And I know I’ll miss this life I’m living
Harmful or not, I’ll return to it like a fool
Just like I return to that day, that dream
Where he and I could’ve been together
It’s days like these
Days like these
