You were the bad habit
I never could drop

You were the good habit
I never could learn

You were the cure
I could never take

You were the wound
That never could heal

You were the dream
I could never quite finish

You were the nightmare
I could never quite shake

You were the soul
That I longed to love

You were the soul
That I needed to hate

You were the story
I ached to read

You were the story
That hurt to write

You were all of the things
That made me human

You were all of the things
That made me a monster

You were

But you never were

We spend the Spring of our lives learning
Learning to walk
Learning to Talk
Learning to live

We spend the Summer of our lives questioning everything we learned
Still unsure who we are meant to be
Wondering how to live

We spend the Fall of out lives lamenting the time we thought we wasted in the Spring and Summer
Wishing we could go back
Trying to relive what we once were

We spend the Winter of our lives remembering and cherishing the previous seasons
Hopefully witnessing and grandchildren enjoying their Spring’s and Summer’s
Getting ready for our final season to end
