A Run In Time Poem by D Loveday Morris

A Run in Time
I read the letter you wrote
A couple years ago
The message was sent to my brain
But my heart didnt know
It said all the right things
But I just wasn't ready to hear
And now that I'm reading it
I can again smell the fear

It was a fun time,
It was run in time;
But what's a girl to do?
You can say I'm stupid until you're stuck in grazy glue
The heart was fully charged but the message skipped the brain
Peeping through the window now; I wonder if I was insane
Yet, insanity is so beautiful and only becomes sad
When you sit and start asking yourself was it really that bad?

I suppose life is a matter of perspective
And until the time is right, live love and enjoy yourself and glean wisdom's insight
And what's a girl to do?
Mouth has a job of which talking it is boss too
Yet, a girl has a right to be a girl
There is beauty and innocence in a girl's world
It's too bad that he was a boy, with a man's hand
He seemed to know what he was doing and had it all planned

It was a fun time
A run in time
Who could have tell?
That a plane flight, with miles height, would have changed things going so well
Out of sight, out of mind that's what some people say
And yet, eyes and brain can't seem to agree today

Haunted by recurring mistakes, perhaps someone took all the pies in the sky?
And that's why it seems we have failed, that's the why
A girl has a right to be a girl
And there is beauty in a girl's world
We make the choice we do with the best of what we have at the time
Who can with certainty say, if we made another choice it would have been fine?

Perhaps the road less traveled is the one with heart
And it may have been the what, that was needed right from the start
It's too bad he was a boy with a man's hand
And unfortunately heart wasn't part of the plan
