Yey, a song!

[Sometimes, I get a thrill from facing a blank page, simply because I have no idea about what might suddenly spring forth from my fingers. This is one of those times. I was supposed to write a short story, but my mind seemed to have a life of its own, and I got to craft this song instead. It's already got a tune, I just hope I don't forget it! :P I don't have a title for it yet, though. Anyway, here it is:]

~*~

How long has it been since you stopped saying my name?
How far apart have we drifted away?
If the world is so small, how come our paths do not cross?
Is it just me who's missing you, or do you, too, feel the loss?

I gaze out of my window, see raindrops fall on the ground
and I remember walking in the rain with you when you were still around
Is it so wrong to want to bring those moments back?
When I know you're trying to keep your new relationship intact?

There are a thousand what ifs running through my mind
When it was still us, how could I have been so blind?
I regret that I didn't see, didn't realize
that it was you who made me feel the most alive

I can't help but wonder what could have been if you were still mine
Would we somehow get to make things alright this time?
Or is it really better that you end up with him?
I'm sorry but I haven't gotten over my dream of getting you back

If I could only turn back time, I'd do things differently
But I know there's nothing I can do now that I've set you free
There's this one hope that I hold deep in my heart
That maybe someday in time we'll cease to be apart

There are a thousand what ifs running through my mind
When it was still us, how could I have been so blind?
I regret that I didn't see, didn't realize
that it was you who made me feel the most alive
