waiting
The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool
Only lovin' somebody don't make them love you
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never ever having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
These next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then you shooting me down
But I'm already down
Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But the Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do

Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.

good ice
He trudged on, suspecting that possibly it — everything, always — could turn out OK, even if somebody like the overoptimistic boy, who had left, ultimately saw folly in it. There might be good ice, and trying to think only of that, he, like so many of us, continued deeper and deeper into the woods.
