Rollercoaster
I finally
bought my ticket
Ready to
stand in this never ending line
So I can sit
beside you for this two minute ride
That equates
to a lifetime of ups and downs
Turns and
twists
Screams and
laughs
Topped off
with a little bit of nausea
You can’t
predict which turn will have me holding onto you for dear life
Before I
decide to throw both hands in the sky
Just to get
a taste of the thrill
Only to
return it back to the place it truly belongs
You have to
be able to face the twists that come along with the straights
Be willing
to pull the kinks out of my knots
Because once
we get on this ride
There is no
turning back
We just have
to fasten our seatbelts
And hope
that our hearts are secure enough to hold them in place
I know there
will be plenty of times
That we just
want to unbuckle and jump ship
As if we
already had a parachute as a backup plan
Resisting posting
our failures on Instagram
We will suit
back up
Fight and
make up will be our new motto
Because it’s
not worth throwing away all of our good clothes over one stain
When there
are so many combinations
That can
remove impurities, strengthen insecurities
And
rejuvenate color
When I
bought this ticket
I knew I
wanted to get my money’s worth
Experience
the joy and the hurt
Because if
all of my emotions weren’t touched
It wouldn’t
be enough to sustain me
You see I
don’t believe in perfect
There never
seems to be a straight path
But I am
willing to take what we have
Stand in
this line
And ride
this rollercoaster ride
We call life
Beside of
you
I will
squeeze your hand and let it go
Laugh until
I cry
Be
disappointed in you and disappointed in me
I will love
you every day even when it hurts
I will be
excited with our ups
And stubborn
in our downs
We will fly
and crash
Go through
so many turns that we’ll lose our way
But I can
guarantee you
We will end
up right back where we started
Buying that
ticket
Standing in
line
And riding
that two minute ride
That equates
to a lifetime
Of what we
call us
