6 Years
It takes 6 years to
know for certain you have turned a corner
watch leaves turn to flame just 6 times
realize you are with the wrong person
see how little your life has evolved
It takes 6 years
experience so much pain and suffering that you finally change something
get a university degree
watch a girl become a woman
notice a new car turn old
watch a boy become a man
notice you climb mountains slower
It takes 6 years
watch a dog live half its life
acknowledge you are lonely
learn to eat well
realize you are a calmer person
forget the dreams you once had
It takes 6 years
notice your vision grow weaker
know you are not leading the life you want to
find a perfect couch
save money you will never spend
know it is time to move out
realize all this today is your life
It takes 6 years
cross a river
watch a friend go under
realize you won't take it anymore
tell a parent something difficult
realize a routine does not always serve you well
It takes 6 years
realize you will be with her for the rest of your life
know who your friends really are
let your frustrations and anger become sickness
realize you were hurt
understand you cannot be with her for the rest of your life
It takes 6 years
know a charade isn't one anymore
understand santa clause isn't
wake up 2,190 times and have changed nothing
It takes 6 years
