A World That Never Was

And Melancholy Tingles

On an ordinary Wednesday you crept back into my thoughts - a place made up of what ifs - long before our love got lost

I guess we never had a chance, I gave my heart to someone else, but after all these years it seems, my hearts been captive on a shelf

If I could call a replay, do it all again, I wouldn’t share my heart this time, with any another man

Too late, our chance is over, but I wanted you to know, yours is the face that calls me back - no matter where I go

Love

    This makes my heart ache, Kelli. All of the what ifs, wondering what might have been. Glad to be the one I'm with, yet always returning to the thought, "What if?"
