Sometimes when you are alone
And think of days gone by
You feel you could have lived
A completely different life

A feeling not reciprocated
A choice not exercised
A commitment never kept
Totally changed it all

Now trapped in a rut
Unable to squeeze out
You can only play along
Till life’s end

Life may have been different
Something better than now
Or conversely been the same
Full of regrets
