Live Again

(Thinking Of You)

If I could put the broken bits and ashes of my life Back together again, or If I could gather in one place All my far-flung hopes and friends And all the foolish dream ships that I smashed Or scuttled or scattered in the wind— Whether or not we ever kissed or ever will again— I’d breathe at rest at last Without a worry for your soul or mine Or for this dread, this dire anticipation of loss, I’d live again, however small, devoid of tears, Maybe serve to cheer you one last time More than you’d expected or ever will again Before the years insist that you or I must pass. rcs.
