This moment could have been

Unheard phrases and views unseen

Made of thousand words and emotions

And cultured lines and bizarre notions

This moment could have been

Shared smiles and bits not to mean

Of clasped faith for years to cast

Long shadows in darkness to last

This moment could have been

Warmer, if sun had lost its sheen

Of clearer thoughts and clouded lights

Of starry mornings and misty nights

Of fresh promises to go along

To together hum a different song

Had you only been awake and seen,

So, could have this moment been
