Have you ever taken the time...
To really search your soul?
Ever given much thought..
To the road that you're on?
Ever wanted something so bad...
With no chance to obtain it...
Ever given your heart….
Not known how to refrain it.
Ever lived in a fantasy….
A world of make believe?
To escape the reality…
Of the life you now lead?
But what do you do…
When the fantasies take form?
When the world of the could-be…
Becomes the natural or norm?
So then you begin…
To question it all..
What was real? What was true?
Or for the dream did I fall?
Ever find yourself so consumed…
That you think of nothing else?
Ever wanted just your fantasy.
Content to put reality on the shelf?
Was it just me? Was I in this alone?
Did I make it all up?
But my heart says “NO”
So the final questions…
The ones that I need to ask you…
If you were given the chance....
Would you take a "re-do"?
Or would you take it ALL back...
With the snap of a finger?
With a magical un-do?
Not even my memory can linger.
Was it all a mistake?
Was it just in my head?
Some random…thoughts...
Better left unsaid?
Or was it just what it seemed...
Some strange twist of fate?
A perfect dream....
Just a lifetime too late.
