Over…before it could even start

I pause a while, I turn around
And standing still, I realize…
‘Before it could even get started,
It’s over!

I was alone, I am alone
But somewhere in between something went right
And for a brief moment
I thought it was real

But I woke up soon, and tried to smile
I have always known the truth…
I know what I was and what I am
Is what I always, always will be.

I turn back again and look ahead
And try in vain to stop thinking…
‘Before it could even get started,
It’s over!’
