What would I do, if I were free
To see all the different versions of me
I never want to be
Flip through the channels
Of could have been
And never was
Just because
I wanted to be seen
The me I didn't know
I wouldn't show
Because I was afraid
And I didn't know how to let go
I think because of how I tried to hold on
And how it burned my hands
My heart
My soul
But which decisions would leave me whole?
I don't know
All I had to do was guess
A roll of the dice
And jump backwards into destiny
You see so many times
In the movies, how they say good bye
When you live, and write, create, entertain
You know the right words live in your brain
But the moment comes
It's far too real
That no words and capsulate
Quite how you feel
You say I love you
I'll miss you
Goodbye
And all the rest leaves your mind
As you start to cry
I'm glad I knew you
I got to love you
I got to smile when
I'm thinking of you
I got to live next to you
There with you
For the time we were given
I'm grateful
Even though I'm sad
At the times we had
Like broken rungs on a ladder, these wishes stack
But I know these are times I'm never getting back
And as we bury you
I bury too
The parts of you I knew
Because every soul, every set of eyes
Will realize, a different aspect of our lives
Each perception of two hearts shared
Means something unique for every two lives paired
And I'm glad, though I'm sad, of the times that we had
That we shared, a journey
Of just you and me
