"It's Only Life"

It's Only Life
By Gregg Inhofer

I thought I knew her oh so well. But now I see her in a very different light. I’m amazed I could be so blind, but love has a way of letting me see what I want to see. If you told me the sky was cloudy, I would loudly proclaim at the top of my lungs, ‘I can see the sun’. and now I find myself so lost. I didn’t realize the cost of giving love. I was sure I could be the one. But she already had a preconceived notion of how it’d be. So she carefully planned out the future and she was shocked when she found that the love she devised had a separate will of it’s own and it no longer fit in the mold. But it’s only life quietly flowing between us. If we’d only try, we may discover that life just doesn’t have to be that hard. It never had to come to this. We could have parted with a goodbye and a kiss. I’m amazed that she couldn’t see. But pain has a way of making one feel that they’re all alone. If we could be shown the future, I’m sure we’d agree that the best thing for all is to quietly walk away. Start beginning the brand new day. But it’s only life quietly flowing between us. If you’d only try, you may discover that life just doesn’t have to be that hard. No, life just doesn’t have to be that hard.
