the inane and incredible experience called life

"Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't." -Pete Seeger

on a hazy tuesday afternoon the phone rings, and i think… maybe it’s you.

maybe you’re not gone and it’s all just a dream…

if only heaven had a payphone.

you’d call and i’d smile, i’d talk and you’d laugh.

if only you’d come back…

i’d trade a million things to see your face or just for one more embrace

even if i had to let you go it would be one more recent memory… less distant than before.

it’s a pain that doesn’t cease and a hurt that doesn’t heal

but a pride that remains and a love i’ll always feel.
