Wake Up and See the Light

My life is like a sad song
that no one wants to play
cause then all their emotions
just might get in the way
and no one really knows
exactly what to say
things have been spinning out of control
for quite a long time now
each time I think I have a good grip
that's when it begins to slip
whirling around again
and I'm left to wonder
will it ever end?

I know hearts get broken 
and need to mend
but even when you think 
you can move on you sometimes
may still sink
be careful when you blink
reality changes and life hits hard
you can't always keep up your guard
that's when you don't want to deal
with what life has handed you
and fantasy sets in

So I soon found myself pondering over
what could have been
that in itself drove me insane
I realized I could longer
take life in vain
and things couldn't stay the same
everything once again had to change
i want my life back as it once was before
I know though I can only move forward
there's no going back
no matter how much you pray, dream, hope, wish or try
this only makes me want to cry

But there's a message that I need to send
to a very long lost but
dear special friend
yet finding him thus far hasn't proved to be promising
i still keep searching 
even though each time it's failed
it brings heartache and tears
not doing this however will bring me
to many other fears
more than the ones I already now face
from over the years
and hopefully the end will have the means
and my just reward will be oh so sweet
then those tears will be ones of joy
one thing I've learned from all this confusion
if you find true down deep love
unconditional love
capture it and hang on
it may be one hell of a flight
but if you do let go to mister right
don't let him to far out of your sight
because one day you to just might
wake up and see the light
