Thoughts

I thought I had this handled
I thought I knew the way
I thought I had the answers
To get me through the day

I thought I could be careless
I thought it would be fine
I thought that life was patient
I thought I'd have more time

I thought that I'd be braver
I thought I'd thought it through
I thought I'd have another chance
To sit awhile with you

Now all my thoughts are jumbled
I thought I was so strong
I thought I'd conquered all my fears
I thought, but I was wrong

Now all my thoughts are silent
And as my tears run dry
I think of how I love you
And cannot say goodbye
