What could of been...

Rain falling down 

I’m gently rocking on the sheltered garden swing 

Thinking about my life and what really could of been

 

I dismissed so many of my desired dreams

To stay safe 

in a bubble with you In between 

Years have rolled by so incredibly fast

But I believed we would get our happy ending together 

To work through it

And most certainly last

 

Now I’m here gently rocking on the sheltered garden swing 

Thinking about how my life really could of been

 

To regret wasted years is such a terrible thing

Worse than committing any forgiving sin

 

I followed my heart just like everyone said to

Now I’m older and alone 

All because I met and fell in love with you 

 

I can forgive you but I can’t forgive myself

For wasting those years and putting me here on this ageing shelf

 

I could of had a life 

Not perfect but great

Now I am wallowing In self pity

As I know it’s too late

 

 I’m still here gently rocking on the sheltered garden swing 

Thinking about how my life really could of been
