Just a Little More

Something you did or something I said
Couldn't have been thought to bring life to the dead
I've cleared my lungs so what's left is my head
A clean bill of health can do little for that
With the thoughts about wanting and trimming the fat
Life's about more though, I thought as I sat
Love is so many things that we don't know
Family and friends and the trees, the sun's glow
Reaping rewards from the seeds that we sow
Hope is a beautiful, fragile disguise
Without it life kills us and its beauty dies
Find it in everything, laughs and in cries
Look for love everywhere, not just your heart
A girl that you fancy means nothing to start
A crush from your school days can tear hope apart
Wanting not trying to let go of a thought
A face from the past that I know I once sought
Since then has a decade been passed but for naught
I know there's no way for my mind to return
To the place she once was as it's already burned
There's only a thought like a nagging concern
She's not in my mind but I know she exists
So many pieces but all of them missed
My hope for the future must see them dismissed
Impossible dreams and impossible times
Once five and then ten to fourteen years I've climbed
It seems that a memory can't stop on a dime
