Second Chance
I had a dream last night, and in it, I was free
of the grief and the anguish that’s been shadowing me.
In my dream, you were alive, and my heart, it didn’t ache. In my dream, you hadn’t died, and it was all a big mistake.
In my dream, I had more time to spend with only you.
In my dream, I truly believed that all of this was true.
In my dream, there was a joy that replaced all my sorrow. In my dream, I felt so grateful I’d be seeing you tomorrow.
In my dream there was relief from the guilt and regret.
In my dream, we hadn’t finished all of our time together yet.
In my dream, I had a second chance to call you on the phone.
In my dream, I would now savor the moments we would spend alone.
But the morning sun’s rays put my happiness in reverse as I relived the day you left, the pain was almost worse.
For I realized with a heavy heart in the present circumstance that you were gone forever, and I had no second chance.
