Merry Go Round

Life is many things to me

I could describe it many ways

For now it’s a merry go round

Round and round I go

Seemingly endless

But ever changing

People get on

And people get off

But I stay on

Some of those people…

Are like family

Some are more than that

There are people I like

And people I love

Some are people I never get to know

Now I’m at a point

When I think about it all

I think about the people

The ones I like

The ones I love

The ones I never got to know

Some have left

Maybe just for now

Maybe forever

There are some

That I still think about

I still think about a lot

Day after day

I still think of certain people

I still remember certain events

They run through my mind

As if they happened yesterday

As if they never left

But I know

In my heart of hearts

They’re not here anymore

I’m left to wonder

If they’ll come back

If we’ll ever be friends again

All I can do

Is hope beyond every doubt

That we will have the chance

Just to have one chance

To mend what was broken

To stop the thinking and remembering

So that we can live it

So that we can be

On this merry go round of life together
