Addiction

It's a substitution, a fake high.
It stays for a while, just long enough for you to forget your existence, your reality, your total being.
Explain to me why so many people choose to walk this road to nowhere.
To fly, to soar, to fall, to trip on anything that might help them forget.
Take a risk, take a chance.
Find out what it's all about.
It's okay, it's alright.
No one is watching so it's fine.
It follows you around, it tells you lies.
It's here and then it's gone.
To take a ride, to take flight.
The ride is always ready.
Switch the path, don't hitch a ride.
Say goodbye, don't go back.
It will never suffice.

Her heart broke a little as she walked away
but as she heard her steps
she thought of the steps it took to get to know him
the steps it took to be his friend
and the steps it took to love him
and then she smiled because she knew
it would only take a few more steps to see him again
