The Way It Is Poem by Timothy Hector

Its 2 am and I can't sleep
for the 4th time in a week
it goes in circles round and round
for the right answer can't be found

The trials of life the ups, the downs
confuse me so, all i hear is the sound
of that sweet voice deep in my head
saying those words i wish you'd said

but its so stupid that i want this so
when deep inside i really know
that it is wrong to want such things
i know what sort of mess it brings
i want for you to do well and succeed
in every aspect of your dreams

so why wish upon a star
when i know this is where we are
you have plans and goals to achieve
while i chase my stupid dreams

down the drain most of the time
but these mistakes they are me own
i wont drag you down with me
i will be a man, just you see

when i come back i'll be a man
with goals and plans in my own hands
although i am going away
i will come back to you some day

i wont truly leave you. you know that to
while ever you need me, i am there for you
but for now we must go our seperate ways
im sure to think of you every day

i know this hurts, it hurts me to
but when im down i'll write to you
because i know you'll make me smile
if only for the shortest while

though i fear that while i am gone
you will grow up and move on
and i dont want that, not for you
coz i hope you feel the same way to

i feel like we are meant to be
together someday cant you see
i know not now, not even soon
but i pray one day you'll feel it to

for now i am happy as your friend
im here for you until the end
i made a mess, then made it right
and i dont want another fight
it got to me, drove me mad,
to know that i had made you sad.

so there you go i said it all
please dont make me feel like a fool
i laid it out for you to see
what you really mean to me
