The Second Chance

Why, hello! It's been a while. Not much happened, obviously, so I was merely uninspired. BUT I've just come back from a 2-week road trip with the family and somewhere in the midst of everything I missed writing. After a few days of hibernating I've come up with this piece. I don't know if it qualifies as a prose or if I would later make a song out of it (because I'm talented like that), but I'll leave it like this for now.

It's about meeting someone again from the past, and having the chance to say what you haven't said before...but thinking against it once again. Sometimes, you will have to waste opportunities to give way for the happiness of other people. Cliche as it may sound, but some things really are better left unsaid. BOOM! #whogoat! I have a tone in my head that sounds like a musical... I think I'm a little bit influenced by Anna Kendrick, since I just saw The Last Five Years. So yeah, I'll figure it out in a few days.

And I know it's a little desperate now

To come to you like this

But weren't we once licensed to

Just speak our minds like this

It's been a while since the last time

And I've been everywhere since

Pretended to be searching 

When I know I have found it

It's crazy how the world goes 'round

Without even knowing

That as it turns, it adds more time

To pile on a past underneath it

At least once, I've thought to dig it up

So it's never forgotten

But everytime I do, I'm reminded that

It wouldn't make a difference

At least, not to you...

Would it?

So anyway, here we are

You're once again beside me

With a smirk that scolds the fate that brought

Us right up to this moment

In fate's defense, it was I who asked

And this was but a favor

I know I've said goodbye before

With the promise to walk farther

But I know it's a little too late now

To come to you like this

I can see her coming nearer,

Just steps from where we're standing

So before she recognizes me

I'll say what I've been meaning...

Are you happy?

That's good to hear.

I just came to say I remember my promise,

So go...don't keep her waiting

And I'll walk the other way....
