Just a little crazy

I been thinking lots about the past
Whoa, how’d life go by so fast?
Would you believe it was just a sweet dream
or two ago
that I was dreaming about you?
We walked in the summer breeze,
no cares,
a life to share.
Then it was gone quicker then
A three minute song,
and promises made,
were mixed like metaphors, you wearing
satin, I wore plaid, just once.
Long time ago I learned you can’t change the past,
but you can change;
the way you think
and
the things you choose,
just in case, choice number two,
comes looking for you.
and I have, have you?
We rode the merry-go-round and I smiled
as you reached, ever so in vain for that brass ring
that hung just out of reach,
like life, that ring resembled those illusive dreams,
just another out of control, unreachable thing,
too bad you said, got to go, see you after a little while.
You went off and married that guy from Seattle,
I went...just a little crazy...and for some time did battle
with my mind,
but I’m fine now, thanks for asking.
For now I’m just thinking about the past…and
Whoa, how’d life go by so fast?

Interesting that you have written what I have done many times...perhaps it's an element of aging, to reflect and understand. The tinges of humor, "you wearing satin, I wore plaid, just once" helps in looking at life in balance. Enjoyed the write my friend.

Whoa, how’d life go by so fast?
I guess we're so busy living it, we just don't notice until our quieter times approach...?
Much to think about here...
Love and Peace~

We're all a little crazy. :) An excellent reflection and write; well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
How about this: Writing well is the hardest thing to do, picking up the pen is just the starting point.
Best,
