What Might Have Been But Never Will Be
It was there for a moment
Actually for a couple of minutes
But then it faded
Almost as quickly as it arrived
What might have been
But never will be
It was pretty
And alive
I saw into the past
And equally into the future
Because although it was just an illusion
I saw my future at the same moment
The who
The what
And the why
It was at 44
On beautiful night
In a special moment
Of new beginnings
And great accomplishments
It seemed so real
And so distant all the same
What might have been
But never will be
Only the future knows for sure
