My Apologies as I build an empire.

To my friends,
 
I apologize for the lack of time, we hardly speak or see each other.
I'm always busy; work, projects, home life.
You're always wondering, when we will spend time together.
I seem to have a bag full of excuses.

I apologize if I seem uninterested in what you have to say,
that things tend to go over my head.
I'm always thinking of my next moves day after day,
what more can I do, what more could I change.

Please understand, I apologize for building my empire.
I want so much more than what I have.
I want to be more than what I am. I want to build myself higher and higher.

While you may not understand right now, please be patient.
I do think of you and I do miss everything.
But right now, I am not content.

You only get one chance in this life and I'm making mines count.
So many dreams and so many goals but at the cost of everything.
And while I'm faded into my mind right now, you'll soon understand what this is about.

So once again, I apologize for going after what I want in this world, 
the dreams I dream of everyday.
I encourage you to do the same. Just listen to the words of this girl.

We only get one chance at this life, 
don't wait until you wake up and wonder....
