When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time wouldn't talk to me and I couldn't tell
But time told me when I was sixty

Time became a friend late in my life
And this time I hope that time
Tells me to do the things that are right

Bitter sweet memories I'll hold onto for as long as I can
When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time became a friend late in my life and here I am

What I finally noticed I'll try to say but you are far away
And words are now useless as I find
Time only talks with the second hand

I don't mean to linger with poems of love
It seems I can't stop although I've tried
And if I said prayers to God above
I don't mean to linger it's just this feeling inside

So sad the story is ending where we'll always be apart
I don't mean to linger
But the first time I saw her
She entered into my heart

Pretending to say goodbye is really just one last try
I don't mean to linger
But the first time I saw her
I still remember the color of her eyes

If I met someone else
Could I let her go
I don't mean to linger
With words you already know

I must be on a one way street there's no people to meet
I look behind me no one in sight
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight

The speed zone is slow and alone
Not a stop sign do I see no off road to the left or right
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight

Finally a sign curve up ahead
I can't remember the last thing she said
I lean on a post under a dim street light
Still headed to lonelyville I think I'll be there tonight

Oh people everywhere
Don't you want someone to care
Someone who will always be there

And to feel forever in your heart
To figure out love
You don't have to be smart

Oh people will you listen tonight
And find rest and peace in the quiet
Look at one another and say the words that are right

And each morning as every day starts
Remember to figure out love
You don't have to be smart

He only wanted to be with her talk to her
Kiss her and hold her for awhile
Being together relax and at the end of the day
Go their separate ways with a smile

But that's just his imagination
Now the truth can be told
He's a sentimental nice guy
Left out in the cold

He didn't care about her past
Wasn't even going to ask
He always falls for a girl who belongs to someone else
It's accidental and by the time he knows his heart begins to melt

Everyone whispers be a man
But he doesn't have a home wrecker plan
He's that way perhaps she doesn't know
She caught his eye and the sentimental nice guy got left out in the cold

Well I've said I'm sorry enough till I'm blue
Only trouble is I've never said it to you

I'm writing a letter of closure
No girl has ever given that to me
You don't have to be so kind I know
But what If I said please

This time I won't let my feelings get in the way
And this is hard for me to say but I'm trying
To regain my composure
I'm sending you a letter of closure

Between all the ifs maybes and guessing
I was lost in the shadows of confessing
I hope this doesn't make things any colder
If you could only answer a letter of closure

But if you don't want to and then we should meet again
I'll just read your mind and at that time
If I'm with friends I'll say I barely know her
And no one will know I was lookin for a letter of closure

One two I think about you
Three four think about you some more
Five six haven't got over you yet

Seven eight they say it's too late
Nine ten miss you again
I'm on a countdown to lovin' you

Ten nine you'll always be mine
Eight seven maybe someday I'll see you in heaven
Six five don't forget me I'm still alive

Four three what about you and me
Two one are we over and done
I'm on countdown to lovin' you

In melancholy mind leave the world behind
And when you return what you learn what you find
Is a soap opera life hasn't changed still the same

The people that you meet haven't missed a beat
Only the clock on the wall has kept up with spring or fall
Turning back who are you looking for in melancholy mind

Close the bedroom door and no lady there
To kiss your lips or take her fingertips
Slowly through your hair

Outside the window you stare
At empty clothes pins on a line
Except for one pillow case so fall asleep in melancholy mind

Hope you have a wonderful sunday
It's early in the month of june
And I know in your heart there is room
For a wonderful sunday

The sunlight falls through the trees
And then a gentle breeze
Makes the leaves dance and sway
Hope you have a wonderful sunday

The people who surround you
Will be there always I know
And I will never be introduced but that's ok
May everyone have a wonderful sunday

I removed story of the two chickens
it was posted on june 1
instructions say a poem is permanent
but to edit is to change
Which is same thing as remove

When he walks down the street
The girls that were mad now look at him so sweet
Cause he does the huffy bossa nova

Sometimes they try to make him fightin' mad
To see if he will lose his mind oh too bad
He comes out on top every time He' got a brand new line

The huffy bossa nova

The girl he's been tangled up with is walkin' fast today
Her pouty lips turning every which a way and she is feelin' grand
Excited thinkin' about her huffy bossa nova man

Now I finally see her and it hurts so much to know
After I loved her so deeply
She never loved me at all and now where can I go

For she was nothing more than the leader of the gang
Who have always tried to stop me to block me
And for what they have done they feel no shame

Now it's finally over it's come down to the end
Never got to kiss her never got to hold her
And it's hurts to say goodbye cruel friend

Now all the deceivers have to start over again
I've been through hell and baby I got back
Goodbye cruel friend
