Perhaps
Perhaps we were just hopeless dreams
Of a forgotten mind.
Perhaps we were just misplaced anger
When we were supposed to be kind.
Perhaps we were just forgotten wishes
Of a younger child’s soul.
Perhaps we should have moved ahead
Instead of observing the goal.
Perhaps we should have moved slower
When we needed to analyze.
Perhaps we should have seen the scene
From another person’s eyes.
Perhaps we should have listened
With more than just our ears.
Perhaps we should have fought
Against more than just our fears.
Perhaps we could have saved someone
Before we let them go.
Perhaps we should have done these things,
But these events were ages ago.
