Have you ever cried just to cry?
Ever laughed just to laugh?
Ever spoken just to hear your voice?
Ever written just because you need to?
Have you ever went to stores
Just to be with people?
Said "hi" so someone
Would say "hi" back?
Taken the long road home
Because your house was too quiet?
Have you ever set the table for two
Poured two glasses
Watched a show you didn't like
To pretend there was someone else present?
Have you ever bought a gift
To reward yourself for going outside?
Have you ever mailed
Christmas cards to yourself?
Have you ever told colleagues
You were having friends over
When your house was silent
All weekend?
Have you lived life to the max
Or sat quietly in a corner
Skipping all the "good stuff"
Waiting for the end
Will you look back and say
"This was all worth it"
Or are you looking forward
to say "the hell with it"?
Is life the greatest gift
Or would you prefer
Cash?
