some things too early others too late

some things too early
some too late

i was a fresh young thing
i thought i had forever
now looking autumn in the face
i see the time is drawing closer

i dove deep without warning
without fear or sense
i let my heart live
outside my chest
i gave
without coming up for breath

in other things i dragged my feet
i found myself
long after
i had committed me
to a life long promise
of someone i wasn't really ready to be

so which road now
do i take forward
should i turn around
or look ahead

not got the energy to dive
but too afraid to turn around
and miss out
on life

some things too early
some too late
timing has never been
a strong point

and as this story writes itself
i think i'm in for
another chapter
of being in the wrong place
at the wrong time
with the wrong face
i'm in the wrong line

or maybe i have learned enough
to look on the bright side
and hope for the best
that this time
there is no late or early
just a stretch of time not moving
to just sit still
enjoy the view
and revel in the way
the sun plays
on this morning's promise
and the wonder of the new
