Collected Pieces

Never ending laughs and silly smiles,
chilly evenings and moving pictures on a screen.
With miles of highway in between,
and lanes of traffic rushing to get by.

All day long car rides to nowhere,
watching the scenery fly through the window.
Late twilight walks through an empty park,
talking of past, present and future lives.

Daily conversations and early morning good nights,
memories of a time that is now dead.
The same and different all in one,
let's start over clean this time.

Keep moving forward and don't look back,
mistakes were made and lessons learned.
Time is forgetful and always forgiving,
because second chances are all we're waiting for.
