What may have been different
Had those first, child like hopes
Been realized?
Would I be in a
Better state
If tonight, under that ancient white
Moon
You were sitting on my couch, smiling
Like I
Always knew you
Could?
Would things be different or just
Different If we had danced,
Even for an hour
Under the lights
In that small, mid-western town?
