Once More Into That Feeling
Fond remembrances gone by.
Would it be that one could repeat the best part
The simple pleasure of experiencing it one more time
Like staring at a beautifully crafted work of art
Or hearing the magic of a beautiful poetic rhyme
-
Speed takes it all away like the snap of your fingers
Everything at the end feels like it went by in the blink of an eye
Gone faster than Christmas and those lovely bell ringers
Before you know it, you're left staring at the sky
-
To buy back a chance to experience the best, just once more
And know again that magical feeling inside
Do what must be done to keep from closing that door
The loss of all that's good, maybe you can stem the tide
-
Just one more dance between you and me before I go
The embrace unseen but felt with such warmth it's never forgotten
To know of loves sweet embrace, to live in its magical glow
And remember what a life it was before it all went rotten
-
To love once more
It's wasted on the young

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Shades of a humorous turned tragic moment from "It's a Wonderful Life". To know love more fully as you age than you did when you were young is a treasure beyond measure.
