[curliewrites]

If ever there was a perfect example of 'right person, wrong time', you're it for me.

 I was too young to realize that heart and soul matter so much back then. I was far more concerned with looks. I wanted the wrong things, but now that I want and need the right things... it's too late. I'm kicking myself for not realizing earlier that you are so incredible. Your heart for kids and the elderly, your work ethic, your intelligence, your subtle but overwhelming beauty, the way your smile lights up my day, and the fact that your hands-wrapped-around-your-stomach-gasping-for-breath laughter is my favorite sound ever. But, it's too late... I'm too late.

When things get rough

And nothing about life makes sense

You find out that you're tough

No longer relying on pretense

Tough can mean many things

It can mean smart or strong

I guess that's what stings

That you learn most when things go wrong

How you treat this time

Shows your character best

Life gave you a lime

But you were expecting a lemon test

Now is when you learn of what you're made

So... which is it lemon or limeade?
