There's something special about the things we don't have...

Because this is real life and not the movies
we make choices but don't decide,
and find it impossible to overcome
the irreconsilable differences that divide.

Because this is hardly the beginning
and because the ending looms so near
we're caught in webs of apparition
hurt needling our tears.

Because this is real life and not the movies
all the endings are not neat
but manufactured moments
aren't nearly half as sweet.

Because this is hardly the beginning
and because the ending might be close
smile in each and every scene
and keep your heart aglow with hope.
