Reckless

The Midway State

"Follow, you were always one to call out and always one to hold on for your life. You❝re reckless; reckless you❝re not waiting, waiting for the red lit young street light. But I don❝t remember a time when the young didn❝t become old. I❝ve forgotten the footprints laid down. There you go, on your own caught in the morning sun. There you go. I watch you grow and I realize I❝m happy now. Grown up, hoping you remember. I sit here in the old house your childhood home. I wonder. You❝re living on your own now. When are you going to slow down and let me love you? I❝m old and I❝m wrinkled. I❝m star struck by all of your young grace. Why can't I watch you proceed on your own? Now that I❝m over the edge. Now out of time."
