After all this time,
I’ve reminisced
Of Regret’s bittersweet kiss
Of roads that led us separate ways
How quick the memories of friendship fades
While wasted wishes plunge in everlasting cascades
Along with my fantasies my mind creates.
After all this time,
Decades flew lost in a windchime
We aged with wisdom from Experience’s ploy
When we were young and insecure,
Oh, how similarly we mature.
No one but ourselves to blame.
After all this time, life is but a game,
And we are just toys.
After all this time,
Like a forbidden kiss, reminisce
Remembering a romance forever missed…
After all this time?
Separated by ties to another life
After all this time,
Always yours,
Always mine.

Wow this was an incredible journey of to be or not to be.
Wow this is very full of soft what-ifs and it’s got a sad but content feel.
