Spring

lyrics

It seems I’ve found myself here again, in this empty second bedroom we haven’t seen since we were kids. A vase of roses that are dead, but filled with hope and represent a life of love, a love of life, beneath the glass down to their stems since they were sent. And what was once green has now grown to grey. And what was once red has been over time replaced with the memory of a time and a place when she could see and feel the love in the expressions on his face. And she was certain in forever, and that together they would make this life the dream that they’d create at night while they were wide awake. And I can see it in her eyes now, as she looks down at the vase. Yeah, I can see it on her face. She is ready. She’s waiting for death, like a change of address. As if it was the next natural step, a journey they had kept. That it was something to be welcomed instead of grieved, feared, or wept. And she said with strength I someday hope to find, “It’s been a wonderful life.”
