I guess age will get you thinking. Of the way things were “back then”. And set your mind to pondering- The things that might have been. You think of rash decisions- The dreams of greener fields. The bitter disappointment- That a shattered dream oft yields. The girls who caught your fancy, In stolen interludes- The romance which fell victim- To your fickle, flighty moods. The wasted miles you traveled, The chances thrown away- As you watched your dreams unraveled, At the close of every day. You sigh, and often wonder- If you could live it all again- Would you change those rash decisions? When you view what might have been. |

I think restlessness resides deep in the soul of some people. I doubt even seeing a bad ending to the movie would prevent some of us from making the same stupid, let's call them choices again. Not sure the grass has to be greener...just different. |

We all think of what might have been but in the end I guess we have traveled the path we chose and hopefully learned whatever lessons we were supposed to from it. |
