Hardwired

As I was in the shower this morning something happened...the water was streaming as normal but when i heard the intake from the pipe, signalling a change in water pressure, i quickyly moved out from under the water into the corner of my shower...it wasn't until afterwards that i realized something...i haven't made that move since i lived in dorm 3 years previous...

you see when i lived in dorm i learned quickly that when you hear that intake from the pipe it meant that somewhere in our two floors someone was flushing a toilet which meant you got hit by scalding water...which meant a quick move to the corner to escape the burn...

i hadn't made that move since i was in dorm three years ago...but at the first sign of the same old encounter i reacted as though it had happened yesterday...and quickly moved to the corner...

it's funny how some habits die so hard...i moved so quickly to avoid a burn that so far in my past had always been there after that sign...but today the sign was there and no burn...but i jumped out of the way none-the-less...to avoid it...

Never Goodbye

when you love something
you gotta let it go
though your heart...is leaving

watching you back your bags
to set out on your own
you're trying to find something...to believe in

when you're on your own
and you've lost your way
when the lights go out...who's there to guide you?
when you find the words
that were hard to say
when they all come out...who's there beside you

when you're lost in the dark
somehow you'll find you way
though the day's not the same
somethings will never change

when you're on your own
and you've lost your way
when the lights go out...i'll be there to guide you
when you find the words
that were hard to say
when they all come out...i'll be beside you

right there beside you...
beside you...
