Wonders

Memories like films play on the wall

Of another self, another life

A story without end that still lives on

So much that passed us by is forever gone

Echoes of the chances that I had to take

I closed the door, I never said goodbye

No regrets, no tears

We cannot turn back time

The symphony, the song plays to the end

Ghosts will haunt the streets

Where we have laughed and cried

Still, we found our place

Found a better life

Is there time to cry

Drink to last goodbyes

Oh why, do wonders never cease?

Share with me a wisdom and reflect

When I cannot disguise my truest self

I cannot say what plans fate has for us

But we affect the change and guard our hearts

Running forward

Hope and wonder

Laugh and fall

Have we burned all the illusions of our youth?

The question goes unanswered: what it made of us,

Who won or lost, who is missing presumed alive?

I hold on to what matters most and don't let go

I hope you know

That I'm happy now

Drink to last goodbyes

Oh why, do wonders never cease?
