Have You Ever Wanted

Have you ever wanted to go back in time

To visit a memory so bad

That you can recall all images that happened,

In such vivid color

As if you are really there

Watching all the events unfold?

Have you ever wanted to go back in time

To relive certain moments

That you know each memory by heart,

In such perfect detail

As if they just happened yesterday

Replaying over and over in your mind?

Have you ever wanted to go back in time

To change something so bad

That your heart, body and soul aches

with such desperate longing

As if your entire life depends on it,

Waiting to be given that chance?

Have you ever wanted to go back in time

To right a certain wrong

That should not have been in the first place,

With all the belief and conviction

As if only by being able to do so,

Would you finally be at peace?
