“Time Machine”
If only I could find a Time Machine.
I would live the “what could have been”
I would turn back the clock to the past.
Take the days taken for granted and make them last.
I am happy in my life today.
But I cannot help but wonder of yesterday.
All the chances I did not take.
All the words I did not say.
To feel the Summers that never seemed to end.
To feel forever before it began.
To silence the echoes of my mind's voice.
To take a gamble and roll the dice.
Back to a day when life was so simple.
Where we would cast a stone without fear of the ripples.
In the river to the ocean where we did not fear the Sea.
To take a gamble on you and me.
If only I could find a Time Machine.
Maybe I would find the white picket fence and fields of green.
Maybe the sun wouldn’t set on the romantic dream.
And we wouldn’t be a chapter of what could of been.
