If I could go back
To a point within my life
To do what wasn’t done
Choose again, right this time
With all the knowledge I have now
My heart aches with longing
In search of reprieve from the madness
Of Now – of this day
For so long, pondering the point
I would rewind to
Would it all change?
Would I still be me?
Would I know I had chosen?
Or would the weight of bad decisions
Be wiped clean from me?
Coming back from the coma
A save point would guarantee
A do-over
But I wouldn’t remember
You
Your voice, your touch
The way your eyes follow me
With light across the room as
I walk
Caressing me with love
The times you held me as I cried in the night
The love we made
Wrapped up in grief and anger
All this time to realize
You are my person
And I am yours
I would have to let that go
To avoid tragedy
Only to hope destiny
Will intervene to
Bring us together again.
