Time to Spend
There is a weeping willow tree
Down by the river shore
Under it you might find me
On my knees there looking for
A trinket of mine that fell away
And rolled to who know where
I search around it relentlessly
Hoping somehow it’s still there
So won’t you keep me company
Through the waning of the moon
And I’ll try not to burden you
With such a melancholy tune
But it has been a long hard day
I’m too tired to pretend
That I have anything left to say
But I do have time to spend
I’ve been stepping carefully
Trying not to bruise the ground
I’ve been told I waste my time
Searching for that perfect sound
And you say love just isn’t worth
The pain of the goodbye
But I still want to live my life
Even though I’m sure I’ll die
So won’t you keep me company
Through the waning of the moon
And I’ll try not to burden you
With such a melancholy tune
But it has been a long hard day
I’m too tired to pretend
That I have anything left to say
But I do have time to spend
Sometimes I wonder where you are
Sometimes I couldn’t care
Sometimes I have to tell my self
That you were never really there
It’s just be some kind of game I guess
My mind loves playing tricks
You know I suffer day and night
While my mind it gets its kicks
So won’t you keep me company
Through the waning of the moon
And I’ll try not to burden you
With such a melancholy tune
But it has been a long hard day
I’m too tired to pretend
That I have anything to say
But I do have time to spend
Down by the river shore
Under it you might find me
On my knees there looking for
A trinket of mine that fell away
And rolled to who know where
I search around it relentlessly
Hoping somehow it’s still there
So won’t you keep me company
Through the waning of the moon
And I’ll try not to burden you
With such a melancholy tune
But it has been a long hard day
I’m too tired to pretend
That I have anything left to say
But I do have time to spend
I’ve been stepping carefully
Trying not to bruise the ground
I’ve been told I waste my time
Searching for that perfect sound
And you say love just isn’t worth
The pain of the goodbye
But I still want to live my life
Even though I’m sure I’ll die
So won’t you keep me company
Through the waning of the moon
And I’ll try not to burden you
With such a melancholy tune
But it has been a long hard day

My heart aches...my friend just left for India yesterday, and won't be back for 2 years. You're drudging up old memories. Ouch.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I used to read a blog by this guy named Mark. He posted poems, and songs and stuff like that. It was fun to read. Then one day he just disappeared. It was sad.... sigh.
Yeah, he started teaching an overload while taking a couple graduate classes.
But he will now post something for you.
