Do You Ever Think

Do you ever think of a moment,

A time after a time,

Do you ever think of a hidden love,

That may have crossed your mind?

Do you ever think of the very rare chance,

That a person on the street,

May just be the love of your life,

If only you were to meet?

~

Breathing in, breathing out,

We feel these moments pass.

And just as we embrace them,

We know they will not last.

~

If only you had said hello,

Or talked for a moment or two,

You would have felt something beautiful,

Something passionate, something new?

If only you had just crossed paths,

And had something to say,

Do you ever think this possible love

Would have lasted to this day?

~

These are the moments we sometimes miss,

Throughout a busy life,

We live as we are sprinters,

Passing days, blurry nights.

We don't stop to look or listen,

To feel what is truly there

Instead we ignore the present,

And think only of what is near.

~

Breathing in, breathing out,

We feel these moments pass.

And just as we embrace them,

We feel they will not last.

~

Do you ever embrace a moment,

For all that it is worth?

And never miss a single chance,

To feel passion on the earth.

And in this single moment,

As a person is walking by,

Do we consider possibilities?

Or do we not even try?

~

Do you ever think of a moment,

A time after a time,

And recognize this moment,

Or do you let it pass you by?

These moments may not have meaning,

But they are fueled by what you do,

You make the choice to make a moment

A significant part of you.

~

Breathing in, breathing out,

We feel these moments pass.

And just as we embrace them,

We know they may just last.
