If I Could Change the Past
Ah, someone will give me a magic key
With which I could change my past
This is a good opportunity for me
To daydream what I could have cast
I would have learnt to read more books
Faces lonely and mellow
Exploring the dark silhouette looks
Inside the letterbox pale yellow
I would have opened my cage much more
To accommodate more lovely birds
So that the psyche could heal more sore
And could utter more melodious words
I would have courted the ever flowing river
That I have been somehow afraid to hug
By refusing the ingrained fears
That clouded my judgment like a drug
I would have tried to understand you better
To listen to rains with more perception
Would have loved your torrential laughter
Along with the tears without inhibition
Some closed doors I did open
Would have liked to try a few more
Some beautiful heartbeats I did listen
Some more I crave in your core
