Carry On

I’m thinking of her a lot lately

And how the failure of our friendship

Is such a perfect metaphor

For everything else in my life as well

It’s the kind of story I wish I could’ve written

Except that fictional me

Would have to have his happy ending

Tied up neatly with a bow

While reality is never that neat and tidy

And who knows what my end shall be?

That’s for me to live and find out

And while I miss her

And think of her with fondness

And some regret for how things were left

I’m in no position to change the past

And there’s no point in worrying

About things out of my control

So it’s time to carry on
