Fading Waves

If only I could rewind time, to go back and change the events that led us here…
If only I could rewind time, to fix the mistakes I made along the way.
If only… to have lived a different life.
If only… I had found you.

The days lost their meaning now,
Dreams masquerading as alternate days…
A glimpse of you still lingers,
locked in the corners of my mind.
If only I could rewind time, to alter the course of fate…
If only I could, so that you were not lost to time…

Different lives, different worlds, I left and I lost you.
Trapped in the facade of opportunity, beholden to a prison.
Only now I realize, my true desire was to be with you.
I can’t alter the past, but how I yearn to rewind time.

There is only one thing that mattered, but I realized it all too late.
Worlds are now oceans apart, a stranger in the dark…
Both forgotten now, trying to survive in solitude…
A fate, now a dream, this time there is no turning back…

I think you feel it too, if only, we did not separate…
What the world would be like, where we’d both be…
As if it were fate from birth, an intense aura held…
Only to be lost, before it all came to be…

Now, it’s only if ever’s, wandering through what it could’ve been…
Now, grown too old, separated for far too long.
What was once special, now burnt out,
each of us characters, in different stories now…
Never to connect, fate locked that path long ago.

If only I could rewind time, to be by your side…
If only I could rewind time, so the path could converge…
If only… we weren’t distanced oceans apart.
If only… you were here.

I lost myself over time, what I was once now long gone…
The connection we had, faded to time…
If I returned now, it would all be too late.
I wish to turn back time, yet I long to change my fate…

A future traded for a promise,
A lifetime now gone, lost in greed,
It helped us survive…
A life traded for theirs to thrive…

We won, but at what cost?
And lost the only thing that we truly cared for…
Luxury traded for love,
All faded away, swallowed by time…

If only I could rewind time, maybe we could have both.
If only I could rewind time, and we were both not lost.
If only I could rewind time, I know I still have to make a choice…
But I’d take you over what is now lost…
