this is something i never thought i'd have to explain.....
Make Light of It
It’s hard to be sarcastic
When you can’t use your voice.
I wish I could have been there with you
But I know I didn’t have a choice.
I don’t want you to think
I’m sending anyone on a guilt trip.
I’m trying to make light of my situation,
But apparently it’s still dark enough for me to slip.
Since the day of graduation
I knew I’d be too far away.
I knew the only way I’d see you again
Is if you came back to visit someday.
It’s not the end of the world,
Not being invited to the wedding.
Real life and logic take over at the right time,
But I don’t want anyone to think I’m forgetting.
When I was told about the engagement
For a minute, I was hoping I was invited.
I knew I wouldn’t see the wedding,
Even so, I’d never been that excited.
When she accepted the engagement ring,
In my head, I was hearing “I do”.
They were the happiest couple I’d ever seen,
And I hope it still holds true.
