One Wonders What Might Have Been

one wonders what might have been
the tapestries in my mind are constantly rearranging
as the wind chimes play in my mind, it is evident that i dig your rhythm
watching the rain on the back patio, thinking about the scent of you
when your body reacts, how would you stare into my eyes
all i have are these careless insects to tell my problems to
i caught a glimpse of you at the movie theater with your family
the look of you was so peaceful and cozy
here i am....my date a popcorn and drink combo
i wonder if you would let me finger you in the darkness of the movie theater
wait....let me clear my thoughts for a minute....
now i have to go to the bathroom to regain control of my thoughts
i admit to the man in the mirror that i was such a fool to choose personal, material wants over you, the only one i truly love
when the lights turn on, i am embraced by the quiet of the loneliness in every room
i smile when i greet, but i cry inside
one wonders what might have been....in the actual light of reality....
