Ghosts in our lives
Hidden and unseen
So ever present
Living within and between
The moments that mattered
Persuasive and real
Dance like a mirage
Making us feel
Longings and lonely
Wishing and yearning
To bring it all back
When our lives
Are still turning
Who knows the course
The reasons why
The script and decisions
How fast the years fly
The dreams that might come
For those we have left
To lay down those ghosts
And all those regrets
