A wise man once said to me

“If you want to taste the sun, you peel an orange.”

I didn’t know what the hell he meant

I was young and arrogant

The smartest woman I ever knew said

“You know sweet boy you’re not the only one in this world who struggles day to day.”

Oh there was nothing I could say

Life is weird life is tough and life is beautiful I suppose

Why it’s all these many things surely only The Good Lord knows

And I really cannot say whether God’s involved each day

I swear I still can feel Him when I pray

But I am also aware that the universe don’t care much if I’m here or not

I am meaningless

It irks me I confess

But accepting the indifference is what I need to do

If I’m to take me less seriously

And get down to the only thing that’s true

And that is that I love you

Oh how I love you
