yeah

I often wondered why
you and I
never touched the sky

why we never stopped along the way to paint pictures of ourselves
abstract
or in fine detail
admiring the finished product before the final exhibition

yeah

every step along the way
a quick glance but no words to say
as we fantasize about what might've been
if we had touched the sky 
just once
reaching that glorious plateau we thought about
all those years
smiles
and miles ago

yeah

taking what our fantasy gives
we would make our own verbs and adjectives
and our nouns would resound from every cliff of Dover
but the morning came today 
and it was all over
just a dream

yeah

dreams are cool
they were cool then as they are now
circumstances impossible to change anyhow

yeah

even today
do I think and wonder why 
we never touched the sky
yeah
I do
realizing where we went is foreverlasting
and permanent
becoming friends then
and remaining friends today

yeah

imagination is cool on hot summer days
as a well lit fireplace on cold January mornings

"what might've been"

is a smile I possess unknown to the world
but

"what is"

grips to the bone like mama's oatmeal
makes me wanna reach out and love the

"right now"

which is before me

yeah

it's all good

it truly is all good

yeah
