When To Quit Poem by Tim Romines

Well it seems to have happened to me again
Another misunderstand that might leave scars
You would think that I would learn
But no it must have been my turn to
Feel some loss and pain again.

Why does this seem to happen to me?
Do I have a target on my head?
Now I am all alone in my bed
With thoughts of failure in my head
I hope this isn’t how my life should be.

One day I am up and another I’m down
Not knowing which will surface each day
Is there something more I should say?
Should I just accept it and just pray?
I hope things change I hope things come around

Take a chance on me take a chance on us
I know that we need to take our time
You may be scare and I am too
But I see something special with me and you
That our love will conquer any doubt or pain

Going through life as the good guy gets old
Doing what you think is right is not respected
Look at by some as old fashioned
Their love is really lust and not passion
Showing that you care should not be a sign of fashion.

Someday she will come into my life
The one that understands what I am about
All my actions will be understood and respected
And it will make her happy just as expected
True love is out there and will complete my happy life.

Until that day I cherish my close friends
With the hope that one day they will help me see
My true potential for being me
And help guide me on my path to total happiness
In time we will see what transcends.
