Catch & Release

Another door closes many more open.
People come and go along with my emotions
No point in not being patient I seem to attract
pull in then over react then leave with myself
I am a revolving door swinging open swinging closed
letting people in. Pushing people out
So I wont promise you, I will be here forever
I am jaded and I feel connected one day.
Than I feel better alone the next.
Its all about the chase the rush of attracting.
I feel like I am a fisherman that lets my catches go.
Knowing I caught their attention is enough satisfaction
I would rather throw them back in the sea of things.
Without scars or wounds. So hopefully down the road
they may still be beautiful. In case I catch them twice.

I woke up today feeling great I have no thoughts of you.
It means I can get on with my day without distractions.
I can go around and catch another person.
Its all catch and release. be decisive then go about myself
I am young and I would rather not have a worry
or have a person I call my own
because it takes time away from me and myself
So I am here today, gone tomorrow.
I will rarely think of our genuine memories.
Because I will be working on forging new ones.
Its all just a game of catch & release.
Yet I would rather I release you
than you release me.
