He said goodbye from the edge of the porch Like shed been some casual friend He said Youre better off without me, Im not what you need like her momma had said about him He started the car pulled out of the drive didnt waste anytime lookin back She watched him go thinkin even a stranger would show more compassion than that She couldve cried but she didnt have time She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find, to rock their little one to sleep She couldve laid in bed for hours giving misery the power But she didnt have time She got a sitter and she got a job cause she had a promise to keep Her day was a factory and evenin survival and night was exhaustion and sleep Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watching was all she could do Her friends said You gotta get outta the house and maybe youll meet someone new She couldve tried but she didnt have time She had a five years old to feed, she had ballet class, piano lessons and t-ball little league She couldve laid awake for hours giving lonely nights the power But she didnt have time Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then, Not time, but yes have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed She was thinking Gosh, hes handsome When he asked Do you have kids? She couldve lied but she didnt have time, all she said was Shes five He said I saw the car seat, I love kids, does she have your eyes And they sat and talked for hours givin destiny its power She couldve been afraid to fall in love that night But she didnt have time She couldve been afraid to fall in love that night But she didnt have time ..................
