Dancing with Phantoms

You have begun to accept
That what you had wished for
Never really was
So agonzing, the weight of that reality
Even after all these years

I can see in your face
You've been dancing with phantoms
Indulging in the "What might have beens"
The "If onlys" can have gotten you down
Re-breaking your heart anew
To steal your joy away

Aren't you ready to move forward
To invite happiness into your life?
Embracing the possibility of a future real
The past is gone - it can't be changed
I pray you choose to let it go

You've been dancing with phantoms
Indulging in the "What might have beens"
The "If onlys" can have gotten you down
Re-breaking your heart anew
To steal your joy away

I ask you to reclaim your life
To take my hand and trust once more
To dare believe in the healing power of love
Won't you stop dancing with phantoms to

Come .... dance with me?
