"The Thing About What You Thought"

"The Thing About What You Thought"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

The thing about a Last Dance

Is that it might not be.

When you close your eyes to darkness

Doesn't mean you won't open it to light.

II

While there are things that we can't take back

There are actions that can be done

While we can never unsay a word

The branch divides and you can decide

III

Just because the Sun sets

Does not mean it won't rise again

Just because we are in this loop

Does not mean it will never end.
