"It's About Time"

Folder: 
Happy

It's about time,

For me to tell you that I care.

It's about time,

To say thanks for being there.

It's about time,

To say "I love you too".

It's about time,

To thank you for just being you.

It's about time,

For me to give instead of take.

It's about time,

For my feelings to awake.

It's about time,

To reach out and hold you close.

It's about time,

To live up to all my hopes.

It's about time,

To let you know I'm happy,

It's about time,

Though it may seem kinda sappy.

It's about time,

For me to get my job done.

It's about time,

To stop focusing on fun.

It's about time,

To give all I can to you.

It's about time,

And, I promise that it's true.



Had to do things my way,

Ignored what you had to say,

I kept my feelings burried deep within,

But now it's about time to let you in.



It's about time,

For you to show me your smile,

It's about time,

For us to make life worthwhile.

It's about time,

For us to be happy all around,

It's about time,

For our sweet, melodic sound.

It's about time,

So, look at me and take my hand.

It's about time,

Cuz, now I think I understand.

My first inclination would be to say that this is sooo cute. but that's majorly trite and sounds like I put absolutely no valuable thought into this critique... so what I really mean is that I think this is sweet... I've felt the same way so many times. Thanks, Alex- just for writing stuff that makes us understand ourselves.
