Have you ever sat with heartbreak many moons overdue?
Have you ever sat with heartbreak many moons over due?
Felt like your heart was aching beyond comprehension while
reliving past experiences, remembering time spent and with who.
Imagining where you’d be today if you had said “b” instead of “a”, gone ‘left’ instead of ‘right’.
Retracing the moments that led up to what changed life in an instant
Understanding that, that was then and this, this is now
This is where you’ve always been meant to be, your destiny
Nothing can ever erase the history of memories — places, people and pain leave their mark forever.
Have you ever sat with heartbreak many moons over due?
Knowing what you know now, not what you bet you did then
Having conversations replay that should’ve went a different way
But instead you’re still rehearsing
how it’ll play out in your mind
Finally striking up the courage to say all that you wanted but didn’t at the time
Only you’ll ever know there are bits of your existence that wish to go back to before present became the past
To when you thought you knew it all
And you thought you wouldn’t miss it
Or you thought it was the right decision
Only you’ll ever know the confusion that washes over your thoughts from time to time
That catch you off guard
That flirts with destiny to change the course ahead
That leaves all to imagination, some to desire and none to reality
Have you ever sat with heartbreak many moons over due?
The ultimate fact of it is this:
This I know to be true
There are memories surging through me
Of you
