As Always

What ever happened to lessons learned?
I should be wiser for all of my faults
But past deeds can never truly be undone
I still take any misguided slight personally
There's a time for love and a time for hate
but there's never a time for romance in this day and age

I still believe in the ideals of a relationship
no matter how different the silver screen portrays
I'm not the leading man or the humble sidekick
just a passing extra you would otherwise ignore
Maybe when the curtain finally falls
I could see past the adoration and the beauty

Regardless,
I'll have to find my way
out of this personal landslide
I live by what I never achieve
and it reflects in everyone
I see myself within

Don't forget me so soon
I'm still here
waiting, as always
as always
