Amusement Park

I paid a million dollars for entrance into this amusement park and I thought “hey 
this better be worth it”.
A million kisses
A million hugs
A million intense conversations about life and love
The first rides were amazing…I had gotten my money’s worth.
I never wanted to leave
I was trapped and it felt good
Happy 
Thrilled
Just like I thought I would.
Other amusement parks seemed to be non existent 
The more I rode the rides in the one that made me feel  
Free.
Only after the first couples of rides 
I just knew that this was the one for me
And no one could ever change my mind. 

I paid a million dollars for entrance into this amusement park and I thought “hey 
what was I thinking”.
A million arguments
A million lies
A million times you said goodbye
For some reason the rides were’t so fun anymore…. In fact they had gotten a bit 
scary.
Most times I felt like leaving 
I was trapped and I could’t find a way out
The fulfillment that the first few rides had brought me
Were still somehow keeping me there
I tried some of the other amusement parks but,
None could make me as happy as the one I loved so much
In the beginning.
So I tried to have a little faith
A little hope somewhere in my heart
A little courage to accept the fact that this park was not perfect
Thinking that one of these rides, just one….would somehow re light that spark

I paid a million dollars for entrance into this amusement park and I thought “hey 
this is not for me”.
A million apologizes
A million make up and break ups
A million moments spent thinking to my self
 “Girl you better shape up… 
Love isn’t expecting you to fight for it, it wants to fight for you. 
There will be no confusion when it comes your way. 
You’ll know when it’s true”.
Damn I thought I was on to something!
But, I guess that’s the name of the game.
And, the way I look at amusement parks 
Will never be the same.
