Shadows of What Could Have Been

We stood at the crossroads, a fork in the road The paths unwritten, the future unknown Promises whispered, then lost in the wind Now all that remains are shadows within Could we have been more than just fleeting time? Could we have built something stronger, divine? The echoes of chances, forever they stay A part of me wonders, was there another way? Shadows of what could've been Whispers in the wind Lost moments, we can't rewind Shadows of what could've been Echoes of what we didn't see Haunting, always calling me The moments we wasted, too proud to let go The doors we closed, not knowing they'd show How fragile we are, how easy to break And how all that was left were the choices we didn't make Could we have held on, not let go so soon? Could we have danced beneath a brighter moon? The silence now heavy, too loud in our ears A question remains: will it haunt us for years? Shadows of what could've been Whispers in the wind Lost moments, we can't rewind Shadows of what could've been Echoes of what we didn't see Haunting, always calling me Now all that remains are fragments of dreams The life we could've had is tearing at the seams I search for the pieces, but they slip through my hands A future abandoned, like untouched sand Shadows of what could've been Whispers in the wind Lost moments, we can't rewind Shadows of what could've been Echoes of what we didn't see Haunting, always calling me Shadows of what could have been… Whispering softly in the wind.
