Older, If Not Wiser

Loose ends, old friends
Unraveling broken threads...
Posing for pictures,
Picking out invitations,
Pulling dresses on over my head
(In over my head, in over my head...);
You were a comfort
That tore me into,
Kept me from looking for anyone new,
And now that the pain is gone
This fear of ties binding
Binds in my throat -
I miss the pain of missing you,
And now that I'm happy,
I don't know what to do
With this brand new set
Of love and fears...
Tying up the loose ends
And what ifs
And all that ever was
Or could be
Set to be
Filed under "Favorite
Memories"...
I recollect, reflect
On all those times again...
Maybe when I loved you so,
It wasn't that I was so brave;
I was too young to be afraid.

Time and again...
