Please Don't Let it Be Over Yet

This morning I was walking around with Greni and she said
"This is the last day I have at this school" 

And she kept walking

This morning everyone was playing cards and laughing

While I sat there full of memories

That leaked out of my eyes

And Danica led me to the place where the piano was

And she said "Remember the songs we sang?"

But my fingers forgot

So we went outside instead to where the tree was

The tree with the leaves like bright stars

Especially when they fall

And I think of the Taylor Swift lyrics to Red

That I sung this morning because I meant them

Things are beautiful before they fall

And like that last glow of an ember before it turns to ash

I started singing with Danica and the words just

Flowed and glowed out of me

But I was still feeling that hole inside me

Because I can't let go but there's no rope

I can hold onto ...

Danica grabs my hand and she writes a ZAP

I look at it before the time she wrote it's so far away

And it's Dr. Seuss

He knew children better than anyone and I'm a child

Aren't I? "Don't cry because it's over smile because

it happened."

But I'm still here childishly thinking, "It's not over"

It's not because it can't be because I can't

Can't walk away

So as I wrote in a song I created last night

"Our last hug, our last touch"

But forgive me for lying 'cause hey

There's always someday"
