Letters For You [Her Side] #8

Marie came to say her goodbyes 

She's off to see the world. 

 We sat side by side on the porch 

Our emotions whirled 

 And we cried and hugged 

 And said a thousand goodbyes

 Then she gave me an advice:

 I think that everyone is right

 But none of us are bright 

 Not in the way 

That matters anyway. 

 We're too young 

 Too old 

 To know nothing

 Or everything. 

 Heaven knows we try

 Though there's much we deny 

From the truth in our hearts 

 To the knowledge we impart. 

 And one day perhaps 

 We'll change our fates 

 Saving our hearts from mistakes.

 "... so please stop now" she said. 

 "think of it like a mistake you made" 

 "let him go." 

"if I find him in a place far away

 I'll be sure to make him pay."

 I look at her in the eye 

 Just to make her believe my lie. 

 Because she is capable of making you cry 

 And I wouldn't want her to try.
