The Bus Stop

I missed my bus today

I can’t help but sob

Can’t help realizing

This isn’t what’s going on

 

Buses can be people

People important in your life

Thinking you might just know

Everything, when that’s just a lie

 

Bus stops are lifetimes,

Eras and people along the way

Bus stops are different

Each time deciding to leave or stay

 

Then there’s you and me

Having to face a reality

A bus can’t stay

For long, if thinking logically,

 

Always needing to catch up

In order not to lose it

Hands down, now it’s too late

You tried, but you couldn’t do it

 

I missed my bus today

 

But that’s okay

I have fairly learned that

Buses don’t have to stay anyway
