The Way Things Truly Go

After finding the perfect moment

To reach for a simple hand

To extend the fingers for your promise

Into a lovers land

When you love so hard it hurts

And expect nothing in return

You are forever happy from commitment

But that kind of love can also burn

A love let passion run wild

With sparks flying all above

And simple eyes beguile

But everyone knows what happens when you try to love

Through a heart it pierces

Just like a greedy bite

Because more than you can chew

Always seems so right

It never helps anything

When you get way too close

So when you love just remember this

The way it truly goes

The people waiting for the plane

Never miss their flight

And people walking down the steps

Continue into the night

The ones who throw people out

Always sleep alone

And the ones who leave into the rain

Never come back home

Those who try to make them see the light

Are always left in the dark

And the ones who love the fiercest

Always die of the broken hearts

Those who wait, walk and wonder

Are still there to this day

No one ever comes to save them

Before they go away

There are no last minutes

No sudden jolts of thought

No helpful strangers around

Giving free advice that should be bought

There is me standing here

Swallowing fear that stings so slow

But me walking out that door

That’s not the way things truly go
