Now

If only I had the power,
The one where i could reverse time-
I would go back to the start.

There would be no confession
I would change my impression
On you.



The night was cold under our hearts
When we walked; jazz music trailing our footsteps.
The stars overhead whispered
Of all my words delivered
To you.

When we lied under the stars you washed away my fears
With the stories you told me to keep me safe and near-
Not far away from you
Is where I stay from you
Now.

If I could take the future, your pain, and hide it away
From you.

If I could sing away the sounds I hear, that remind me
Of you.

If I lay my head on my arms, I could hear the whole world up above and feel it moving
Around you.

In the cold night air I watched the city scape light up
Upon you.

I saw a million paper planes float down from the dark heavens
For you.

I felt the scars of earth lift up their pain, then fall
Before you.

I know the Angel came to me, and told me how to
Find you.
When you were lost,
If I’d found the thing to say
If I could have made it right
That day-



But now
If there was anything I should have done that night-
It was not to give away my heart
To you.

I want nothing now to set it right-
So let this be of some respite.
Moving all these bricks of fear
Has brightened me, and I am clear!

The only thing
For you to know;

That was never me.
