Requiem for a Ladybug

I can still remember

That snowy cold December

And how we talked so late into the night

I had always felt that

When the snow had melted

We would meet again and make things right

When loneliness meets liquor

Time moves so much quicker

And memories all fade into the past

But when the night is late

I think can I change fate?

Or has the die already been cast

When perched upon my finger

A ladybug does linger

I make the same wish every time

I will not tell nobody else

I’ll keep it all unto myself

And hope that things will turn out just fine

I close my eyes and I fantasize

And when I open them it’s gone

So never wait until too late

A ladybug won’t wait around that long
