Well, I did promise you guys a freelance. And while I wanted mine's to be set for Valentine's Day, I felt it inappropriate to make a Valentine freelance without gaining any extra experience or influence in that department. So, I decided to just write whatever came to mind. And what came to mind came early Monday morning, or real late Sunday night. And I couldn't fight the urge to write it down. So without further ado, from the other side...

Praying For Time

What if I could go back
back to that moment in time
to experience that moment,
the turning point of my life?

Let's say that I turn my world upside down
Turn a full one hundred eighty degrees
to change my life for better or for worse
to finally turn right when I had turned left

Suppose that I had told you the right words
the words that would have kept you here
instead of feeling this vast void
Immersing me, filling up most of my life.

I might not want to change a thing;
but just to see the way I have lived.
And maybe realise that I have lived a mistake
And would wish to go back in time again.

But what if I did that and realised
that what was back then is now over here
My skeletons and emotions crept out the back door
And all my effort was in vain.

Then I'd find myself wishing
that I could start all over again.
Not changing a thing, leaving it all as it were.
Where I would stand, just praying for time.
