Distant Replay

So here I am at three A.M.

Deep in the dark with my thoughts

Replaying a scene from my life

How it got in my head I do not know

Taking me back to 1984,

the break up scene with my first love

Oh how I wish I could go back

and redo that pivotal moment

let my heart have a say

express what I know today

We don’t realize at the time

those fork in the road events

that shape who we become

Taking us to the place we are

Deep in the dark with our regrets

Muttering to ourselves at three A.M.
