You Know I Would
Eternal Reflections: Navigating Love's Unseen Turns
Lyrics
At dawn's first blue light
At the beginning of the daybreak.
You open your eyes
Awakening and facing the new day.
And think how do I get through one more day
Contemplating how to endure another day.
Feet on the floor
Getting out of bed.
Like every day before
A routine similar to every previous day.
Ever since your world forever changed
Reflecting on a life-altering event in the past.
You try to write a letter
Attempting to articulate the reasons for a relationship's challenges.
Of what went wrong, and what was good
Recalling both the negatives and positives.
That I'd have loved you better if I could
Expressing a desire to have loved more effectively.
You know I would
Reiterating the genuine intention to love better.
The life of your dreams
Realizing that the envisioned ideal life has slipped away.
Has lost you it seems
Sensing a disconnection from one's dreams.
You didn't hear it leave as the years went by
Not recognizing the passage of time.
Her face turned away
Experiencing emotional distance, possibly in a relationship.
At the end of the day
Confronting unspoken feelings at day's end.
Thes she could not say or even find
Struggling to express emotions or find closure.
That try as we did
Efforts to navigate challenges misunderstood by both.
To find our way, misunderstood
Expressing a wish for better understanding.
And I'd have loved you better if I could
Reiterating the desire to love more effectively.
You know I would
And oh the books with all our photographs
Reflecting on memories captured in photographs.
The pages turned from sweet to sad
Noting a transition from joy to sorrow in those memories.
We cannot calculate the cost
Recognizing the inability to quantify the emotional toll.
Of all we lived and all we lost
Weighing the experiences and losses incurred in life.
As time goes by
Passage of time and renewed awakening.
You open your eyes
Observing the emergence of hope in a new day.
See the cracks of light in another day
Facing the challenges illuminated by daylight.
Feet on the floor
Commencing another day with familiar routines.
Like every day before
Continuing to navigate a changed world.
Ever since your world forever changed
