What Would I Give

Monday, September 28, 2020


What would I give

To return to those days

Those where we were unafraid

Free to run, to laugh, to live 

Fearless childhood bliss

What would I give

To once again

Hold your hand

Walk with you

Grow old with you

And feel the love

That we once had

The life that we once lived

What would I give

I'd give this time

These extra days

That I've lived alone

This life that I've made

I'd give it all, all away

I'd sacrifice 

All that I am 

All that I have

To be with you again

So many times I’ve

Tried to regress

Tried to go back

To return

But my search always 

Ends the same

I can't find you 

Despite visits to 

Old familiar places

I've waited for hours

Examining faces

Searching for you

But you never came

I promised the stars

That I'd do anything

Just to be 

With you again

Until then

I've resigned myself 

To wait patiently

To live out this life

Remembering

How it used to be

What would I give

Anything and everything
