Here, in the crossroads to the next chapter of my life Stuck, living in the house with my soon to be ex-wife My focus was only to provide a happy home Trying to keep a smile on my face though I feel so alone But then I see my child smile And that makes everything worthwhile I still put her first, same love since her birth No price tag or dollar can amount to her worth Still I would like to show her a real relationship Exemplifying consideration without selfishness With team effort, building blocks of partnership Fulfilling our hearts even through hardships My idea is crystal clear, yet feels so far away I’m still learning how to reach these better days So I wait, standing in the same way I came And since I came that way, maybe I’ll go the same For now I’m stuck in the middle Looking for a light at the end of the tunnel Feels like sipping a straw full of dirt When I need water by the funnel Still I know it only feels like time’s sitting still So I drink from the well within myself by using my will And I will persist, so I carry on Even when I’m down, I can still be strong It just means that it’s time to focus and rebuild Strategizing, to make sure next time’s really real Older and wiser but my physique speaks youth Knowing, loves only true when someone loves you too Feeling like I’ve already paid all my dues Been through the storms and a few monsoons So when’s it my turn and could it be soon? It’s February now, so how about June? When the sun walks the sky and the butterflies’ fly I would love see a new half of me right before my eyes But I realize, this walk is for as long as it takes So I’ll be here dreaming... As I wait
