I imagined by now
My life would be...
Different...
Completely differentCompletely different
Then what it currently looks likeI imagined
A house...
Some sort of animal...
You know... a familyA family
I set out to build
All by my lonesome
You know something to call my ownWhat...
An...
Imagination...
A child's failed dreamsWhat...
An...
Imagination...
I had at such an early ageI mean I get it
I'm still young
They all keep telling me
You're in your early twentiesYou have time...
Time?!
Shit...
Where is this time you speak ofI imagined by now
I'd have that
WHITE PICKET FENCE
You knowThe American Dream
With a moderately
Sized house
With at least one to two children
To fill it with warmth & loveI feel my...
I feel my biological time clock
Tick...
Tick...Ticking away
My friends are all married
With kids
Or just moving away...I feel
Unfulfilled and staggered in a way
Unravel me
N' set me freeI want to live...
Hop...
Skip...
N' jumpWith all that imagination
With all that energy
I want to feel...
I want to feel free againI want to soar the skies
Climb the mountains of vanilla ice cream
Jump from chocolate cookie
Boat to boatNot to mention Sail the milky sea
What an imagination
I had...
I was so oblivious
Wondering off in Lala landAll those damn dreams
Came crashing down
Especially... When reality hits
As hard and fast as it didI'm drowning in a way
These goals I've set for myself
All a tad bit
UnrealisticYou came in swiftly
Extending your arm quickly
Then...
You saved meYou saved me
N' I was drowning
Head just barely above the water
Mouth gulping waterLike a fish gasping
When pulled from the water
Who would've known
The power you had hiddenOne glance from you
The skies cleared
The water drained
The breathe returned to my lungsLike you had just performed CPR
I was standing
Just as tall
As I had
Before handI imagined
I'd be my own hero
Saving myself
From anything ungodlyLike the dark gloom
That looked over us
It was you...
You ignored all the RED flagsYou heard me scream
Then started running
In the right direction
Just to save meYou're brave... Strong...
Not to mention
Courageous in every way
Known to manI mean...
You saw a lost soul
A shattered heart
That needed mendingThen took it upon yourself
To hand pick
Each piece
Making sure to grab every little pieceThen taking time
To gorilla glue
Each piece together
With loveI imagined many things
By this specific time
In my life
Nothing came closeTo you...
You are a dream
Come true
A blessing
