Wasn't That Us?

So, I'm thinking of a past

that never happened...

the child on the playground, 

the pains of adolescence,

the exploration of adulthood, and

all the little things 

I try to let you know,

sharing my life as it was,

but looking at the Now and forever,

and I'm thinking you were there

with me in the great mystery,

wasn't that us? Weren't we there

in all of our longings?

Growing up together...

And as I pass this time 

until I can hold you here,

I can hold you here in my heart,

but one day soon, in my arms.

One day soon... 

all it took was everything,

and hope.

And even though that past didn't happen,

the present is all that matters, because 

Now is all we have, and it's everything.
