September

Things happened so fast

I got what I wanted, it was given to me

I didn't even think it'd be

For me that was all a fantasy

I was shocked by the inquisition,

But deep inside I knew it was coming

I hoped and I prayed

And am thankful things went through my way

I'm wishing for something more

Something that would last,

But no matter what happens

I'm going to be the same way still

Going back, thinking things through

I couldn't say it then, what I wanted to say

I'm wondering if the thought ever occurred

Was it well thought of, was it meant?

Driving fast, racing with time

I kept falling with a never-ending desire

At the end, I wish I'd had courage

To say those words, I meant to say

My luck that day had been exhausted

And that's not all that I've wasted

September nights keep you warm,

but it will not shield your heart from harm.
