I
Wonder
Everyday
now I wonder about the choices I’ve made
I
can’t seem to let go of my past mistakes
The
people I’ve hurt are they now forever changed
I
have nightmares during the course of the day
Is
this a consequence of playing Russian roulette
With
one too many hearts
Far
too many tears have fallen at my feet
And
answers now don’t come so readily
Time
is moving swiftly and it would be nice to have a history
Someone
who could say remember when
We
did so and so and you would go ‘oh yeah’
The
thought of being old and alone is not a comforting thought
The
idea of settling now is far less enticing
And
am I asking for too much?
And
should being a good person be good enough?
It
counts for a lot and for some that’s all they would need
Me,
I need the view from the mountaintop
I’ve
seen the view and I know how it feels
It’s
like when you’re out of breath and can barely breathe
You
feel the strength of your heart leaping out your chest
And
in that moment you don’t even care,
The
love of your life is finally here
Who’s
to say anyone’s wrong for following his or her heart
It’s
a journey when looked back upon
Many
angry words and broken promises will be remembered
That’s
a legacy I don’t want to always ponder
The
choices I’ve made leaves a lot of room for me to wonder.
