No loss is felt more keenly than the loss of what might have been. No nostalgia hurts as much as nostalgia for things that never existed.

Carousel
One more time
On the merry-go-round
Thinking
This time it’d be different
The ride wouldn’t break
The music wouldn’t stop
And the laughter
Wouldn’t fade away
One more go
At the merry-go-round
To relive the magic
That’s been lost
The twinkling lights
Around me blink
And, my love, I will be
Found.
The Sound of Flying
In my dreams he doesn’t speak yet somehow I hear his words
I know I hurt you when I left but I had no other choice
because you see my love I had to decide, it was you or me.

Bound
Life is like…
Harvest #midnighthaiku
Leaning towards lazy
Do you ever just feel
Like you need a day to be lazy
The world keeps on spinning
Driving you crazy
And you just need a moment
To forget your life
Time to free yourself
From the pain, grief, and strife
Is it all too much
To ask for such a day
To let your mind wander
And be free to play
Can you imagine if you had that?
What would you even do?
A whole day to yourself
Could change your whole view
I wonder if any of us
Will ever find out
I’d like so much to hope for it
Rather than doubt
Guess it’s a decision
That we all must make
Should be an easy one
For the sanity of our own sake
I think determination is the key
We must fight for our own time
And regardless of what I think
It shouldn’t be a crime
