Just be

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/117984513" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /] I used to think marriage, Think children; a whole house filled I used to think not quite picket fence More like wrap around porch And weeping willow by the lake

I used to think cookies baking Lemonade sipping at sunset And laughter, lots of laughter

I used to think you, Not just you but you and me, Think kisses, think safety, think love. Now I think I thought too much Now I live now, not later Now I don’t think about you

Don’t think about us Don’t think about the potential we had Decided not to fret about a fairytale Decided not to dwell on what isn’t what won’t, what can not.

Chose to let go of frivolous thoughts It hurt to hold on to loving you I Chose to let go of what hurt so long to hold on to Chose to just be. Un-holding Un-held No thinking about not thinking. I think I figured out how to just be.
