I Opened the Door Today
I opened the door today wondering why you’re here.
I opened the door today wondering why he always stares.
I opened the door today to see a perfect flight of stairs.
I opened the door today so I could go to the fair.
I opened the door today and the wind blew your hair.
I opened the door today to realize it was all a dare.
I opened the door today and realized no one cares.
I am not opening the door today.
It’s your turn to go out the door.
You opened the door today and saw the rain come down.
You opened the door today and left with a frown.
You opened the door today and hoped your heart wouldn’t pound.
You opened the door today to go get a new “crown”.
You opened the door today while jumping up and down.
You opened the door today to make a journey to another town.
You opened the door today and didn’t make a sound.
We decided to go out the door together this time since
We have both been let down by the door.
We opened the door today and walked a couple miles.
We opened the door today and went to check some files.
We opened the door today and gave some random smiles.
Neither of us are opening the door today.
This door is staying shut.
Tomorrow we will go out the back door.
