If my life were a movie

I would see us walk away

While our hearts turn back with longing

Regretting the things we didn’t say.

With mutual respect intact

And affection that runs deep

We will put a brave face on things

And repress the urge to weep.

I’ll wonder what could be

If our lives could merge

Like two love birds that stay together

A picture I once thought absurd.

We’ve agreed to not make promises

Whatever happens, we will see

If it really doesn’t work out

Perhaps it wasn’t meant to be.

But my heart has saved a slot

Reserved a seat just for you

If you were to come back

It will prove that dreams do come true

I wonder what comes next

How many hurdles we must leap

To find ourselves on the same course

And you’ll be mine for keeps.

In our separation, I’ll focus on me

Pushing further on my track

Staying open to other admirers

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you back.

I’ve watched so many movies

The heroine always wins

Love surmounts all challenges

Despite all the twists and spins

If my life were a movie

In the upcoming scenes

You’ll make a grand love gesture

And I’ll be the Kat that got the cream.
