please excuse me for waiting
i felt my feelings didn't matter at all
something that looked and felt so transparent
never knowing feelings long forgotten
was something id grown accustomed to

to live and die for the moment
is the way i decided to spend rainy days
there was never enough time
never enough darkness
never enough light

sometimes i feel i have too much time and space
constantly feeling lost in this ocean of air
we passed the time pretending to know what we were doing
living lives that seemed worth living
and regretting spending time indoors

but now i feel that the blue has gone away
and its time to leave this behind
lets pretend that dying is not enough
to keep us from living lives worth living when the rain falls
on the outside

Hi Naeem,

These couple of lines really spoke to me:

sometimes i feel i have too much time and space
constantly feeling lost in this ocean of air
we passed the time pretending to know what we were doing
living lives that seemed worth living

Your expressions are so vivid and real

Love,
MiCheLLe

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues

thanks for your kind words.  I'll write an even better one next time, for sure.
