What Was That Couldn't Be!

WHAT WAS THAT COULDN'T BE!


Sitting all alone in the labyrinth of my memories
Reminiscing old and unfading events in my memories
Thinking of what was that couldn't be 
Memories refusing to fade into the thin air
The joys we thought we had, the brilliance of innocence.

Pictures of you, pictures of me hanging high
Let all the world see us and admire the love
Love that used to mean something, now means nothing
Senescent pictures!

I remember when we used to stay awake through the night
Counting the stars, looking at the starry sky 
Sometimes we would laugh at nothing at all
The drinks we shared, the late night drive throughs 
The mornings we could wake up and stare at each other
Those moments kept me alive, kept my heart beating
Those moments belonged to us...

My best gave me one best advice
Hold on to the great ideas in the ivory towers of your mind
the good times, the good moments 
Celebrate the good that was and not gloat over ended times
What was, that was never meant to be, whats lost.
Ghosts are only an illusion of the mind
People think they have seen them, but how many have?

People change, strive to be the best!
Cherish the best moments with your friends
Celebrate what you got
Don't cry over what has not been 
For sometimes, by losing the war, you find new means of winning the battle...
