In the space of my mind's eye
It's clear and well defined
The moment locked in history
When you, almost, were mine
Awkward and uncomfortable
Expressions I could not find
A stutter step cost me, I know
Your love for all of time
Sometimes alone, I close my eyes
Envisioning that night
To travel back imagining
And try to make things right
If I could use my words and deeds
Why surely, then you'd see
The love I know that we still share
Would finally set us free
Some call the Universe limitless
With parallel possibilities
I'd like to think in one of them
We're together happily
I do accept the way we are
I see life rationally
Somehow the way things are today
Is how it's meant to be
Just know that thoughts of you remain
Among my precious things
My love, these dreams I now release
Take flight on butterfly's wings
I think we all have a lover in our past that haunts our dreams. The one who didn't work out. "The one that got away." It's healthy and natural to reminisce and wonder what could have been. In the end though, growth comes through acknowledgement and moving forward. You never know where life will take you but, you can't remain stagnant if you want to find out.
