passing me by

by Twan - Aries

i sit here in my universe
watching as people pass me by
i look but no one looks back
saturday night

all have their own little lives
i do too but i wish it was much larger
at 18 i watch as days, months, years, LIFE, passes me by
and i slip into the future

the times fade that i sat with my friends
and we laughed about nothing and cried about everything
we felt our anger and left our inhibitions
but sometimes those were all we had

i wish now that we had been friends 
now you're life is over
life is a beautiful thing to have
but it really doesn't seem that way
sometimes

love is a fickle thing that can only descend on you
at a certain time, you can't rush it 
sometimes the sun will rise on you
your smile that you always have for me i cannot forget
as i sit here, away from my friends, my mother, my place of fun
i sit in my purgatory
procrastinating

i'm afraid of my dreams
because they are all but there
in my face

and i stare longingly into the windows
watch families love and lovers cuddle and i realize
life did pass me by
i gotta catch up with it.
