Sometimes it takes hearing about everything going so painfully right for you to appreciate what imperfections exist in life. And sometimes it makes it hurt even more.
Have you ever simply just lay there thinking about how things could have gone, about how they should have gone. All the little bits and peices of your life that fell through and shattered as you let them slip through your fingers. All of the oppertunites that youve missed and how never leaving in the first place could have saved your world. Close your eyes and imagine a world where nothing had gone wrong where everything had been good, and right and nothing had changed.
But then would we be the same people we are now or would the result be completley different? Would ours be a world filled with love and laughter, of small touches and gentle caresses or would it be that of pain and misery, of pills and bottles, swirling completley out of control. I wear a ring on my finger with pride I ahve found love it is mine. But -and indeed there is always a but- is that... enough?
I am not saying that the love we have found is not all encompassing and absolutley breathtakingly beautiful, simply that there are moments, simple blinks in time that make my heart tear and make me belive wholly and truly that something is missing. That there is something more out there waiting to happen, and I have to wonder if my current actions help this in any fashion.
It's confusing and it leaves my head and heart reeling but what if there is something I am missing something that is hovering right beyond my grasp. But then in that same moment it ceases to bother me. I see a smile on her face and the whole world lights aglow.
What would I be had nothing changed so many years ago? Would I have this wonderful experience behind me, would I be a high school graduate, would I... exist?
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...
