If you could go back

What would you say

Would it be the same

Would you give it another day?

 

Begin again, they say

Do something new

If it’s not working out

Start with what’s in front of you

 

I want to call out to you

I want to crawl back into your arms

Listen to your heart pounding whenever I’m near

I want to hear the words again

When you whispered in my ear

 

I want to feel alive again

I want to feel life as an adventure

And not be scared of the present danger

 

I hear your plea

Begging for mercy

Contemplating my decision to let you go,

To leave it all,

It was something I had to do

I couldn’t control what it would lead to

 

You’re looking for something greater on the other side

While I’m enjoying the view from the sideline

All I can say is, maybe in another lifetime…
