Maybe

When I am no longer 
The same as I once was 
And you have equally changed 

All these memories and moments 
That I once believed 
Would last 
Forever 
Will disappear into the world 
Like sand washing into the sea 

And if I tried to capture them 
I would wish they felt 
The same as they did in that moment 

And I wish
I had never made that choice
Because maybe I would be different 
Or you would have stayed the same

    I am not a musician
