it was only for a moment
that i had you here with me
i felt our time getting closer
but it wasn't meant to be
caught up in the dream
of what you thought was meant to be
stopped dead in your tracks
the narrative played out differently
could this be a sliding doors
mystery affirming
that the future will be what it will be
take this moment of reprieve
cause you can't live your life full of fear
or fearfully taking steps to protect yourself
from what's clear to be
the challenges that come
the battles four and one
it ain't just a grand that doesn't come for free
i know you thought you had the keys
but locks they can change with the breeze
branches lose their leaves
and it's important to just breathe
even through your gritted teeth
time to grieve it hurts painfully
and you exert energy to try and unearth
but you can never foresee what hasn't been
and that's a lesson to be learned
right based on reality
and not for the screen
it was only for a moment
that i had you here with me
i felt our time getting closer
but it wasn't meant to be
you see the moment in real time
even though you are still fine
but sometimes it helps not to try and find
what's between the lines
because i am sure
the pain i saw behind your eyes was enough
without the how's otherwise
and this won't
change it wasn't a mistake
nah this was the power of the universe engaged
you'll trust the routine
takes and ride with no breaks
soak up the miles wash the worries in your wake
they say
life is what happens while you're busy making plans
don't let distractions transmit you by your hands
all those cul de sacs and pavement cracks shit
the feelings will disband i write that with freehand
you were first give us something to hold dear
a shining light flickered bright then disappeared
it was only for a moment you were here
but you felt connected on a level you haven't had
in all your years i know you're put on a brave veneer
but down came the tears
the story unfolding ever evolving all in linear
there's no need for regret
remember that you're still here it's like
cause when the time is right
i know you'll be ready to fight again
giving the all clear got years of smiles to come
we'll look back and say thank after it's done
cause it was only for a moment
that i had you here with me
i felt our time getting closer
but it wasn't meant to be
it was only for a moment that i had you here with me
i felt our time getting closer
but it wasn't meant to be
