Their laughs would mingle with ours
If love did not run in split directions
They would build their love like two soaring towers
Whilst all the world sleeps at night
I lie awake, wondering; eyes wide
Whispering, a dark secret, a sadness
How the waves of life crash and come in with the tide
Love grows, both slowly and fast
And choices are made that are hard to undo
I think of a day when a choice will be made
That will make this dark secret come true
There is very little time before it is too late
Her laughter will be miles away
Months will pass and the distance will keep
His laugh will hide, only to stay
Perhaps, another time, or another place;
Their love would be real and true
If it were another time or place
They would realize their love too
It seems so clear to me
That if life had turned out different
They would be together and happy
And they would understand their commitment
They would grow together rather than alone
And they would laugh at silly fights
They would be normal, but still special
And they would treat each other right
The future holds so much beauty
If willing to make the right decision
But sometimes, people are a little too late
And going back or starting over is not what they envision
Perhaps, another time, or another place
Our lives would be completely changed
But that is another time and place;
My dark secret, my minds estrange
