What Might Have Been

Hold my breath, I'm on the edge of time

Counting moments that I cannot rewind

Staring at the ghost of what we used to be

Lost in shadows, haunted by what I can't see

Every memory, a slipping sand in my hand

Wishing I could turn back, catch what was so grand

But if I let go now, could I escape this pain?

Or lose a part of me that won't remain?

Caught between love and fear, a bittersweet refrain

Forever mourning what was meant to be again

If I let go now, I’d drown in tears unseen

A life unlived, a shattered dream in between

Holding onto what might've been, what might've been

But if I let go, would I heal or just pretend?

The loss of us, the might-have-been

Waves crashing down, where love used to begin

Maybe in another life, we’d find our way

But here and now, I gotta face the day

Letting go feels like losing all I knew

But staying stuck keeps me from breaking through

But if I let go now, could I escape this pain?

Or lose a part of me that won't remain?

Caught between love and fear, a bittersweet refrain

Forever mourning what was meant to be again

If I let go now, I’d drown in tears unseen

A life unlived, a shattered dream in between

Holding onto what might've been, what might've been

But if I let go, would I heal or just pretend?

The loss of us, the might-have-been

Waves crashing down, where love used to begin

So I’ll hold this ache, deep in my soul

Forever mourning, but striving to be whole

If I let go now, I know what I’d leave behind

A love eternal, etched in time
