Conversation with Myself

I’ve looked myself in the mirror this morning

I couldn’t recognise the person on the other side

The picture in my mind of who I was back then

Keeps fading as the years roll by

A flood of feelings and recollections

Washing over me as I sit here

Thinking ‘bout the words I’d say

If I could travel back in time

If I could talk to my younger self

Face to face, eye to eye

I’d say hug your mum

Hold her close, don’t keep score

Take it easy, savor the time right now

This moment’s all we have somehow

Have faith that everything will turn out okay

Stop worrying the hours away

Let it go, live in the present moment

Don’t dwell on yesterday or tomorrow’s ghost

It’s hard to pick that one specific moment

But I know the things I wish I could have known

I wasted so much time on things beyond my control

Carrying fears I should have outgrown

I’d tell myself to breathe and release the weight

Enjoy the life that’s happening today

Instead of chasing shadows, lost in yesterday

Or running scared toward what may come

Hold your loved one close, don’t keep score

Take it easy, savor the time right now

This moment’s all we have somehow

Have faith that everything will turn out okay

Stop worrying, Let it go,

live in the present moment

Don’t dwell on tomorrow’s ghost

If I could go back…

I’d wrap my arms around that younger me

And whisper softly, “You’re gonna be free”

Hug your mum and your loved ones more…

Take it easy, feel the now…

Have faith,it’ll all work out

Let it go… live right here, right now

A conversation with myself…

If only I could go back…
