In your eyes I saw a future, those children that we created
I lost myself in the dream of being with you, I was elated
But life doesn't offer return upon promises left unfulfilled
As I pondered the reasons why, somehow I had to rebuild
A dream led me down a path that could never be realized
I expected hope and completion, yet, I was surprised
No home, no children, no pets, no, I'd have no family
My dreams had turned out to be false imaginings
I'd have to live, without creating my own legacy
And then I'll walk my path alone, for the future
As I realize what I've unrealized, thereafter
“The happy have whole days,
and those they choose.
The unhappy have but hours,
and those they lose.”
Colley Cibber
