Time waits for no one
Is what we’ve been told
The time we’ve spent together
Is worth more than gold

Our journey has finally reached its end
What a trip it has been

Laughing and crying
Smiling and sighing
All emotions we’ve had our fair share
But for each other, we’ve always been there

Disappointments as well as disagreement have appeared
Sadness and death have also been near

The conductor has opened the door
And on the train we will ride no more
Now the time has come for us to depart
And from this departure to make a new start

But from beginning to end
Friends we’ve always been
Traveling down these tracks
Only to never go back again

About six years ago I began working on a book.

I never finished.

In fact, after only a few chapters, I deleted everything I had written because I’m critical (perhaps, overly so) of my work.

Over the past five years, though, writing has become a very cathartic experience for me. I used to keep a notebook and I’d jot down random thoughts throughout the day. Every now and then I’d sit down and write something worthy of keeping. Turns out, those pieces were usually inspired by a certain female in my life at the time: my muse, if you will. The following, titled “Backseat Love”, is such a composition and I’m proud to share it with you for your review.
