What If?

Cristino Anasco 1961 (Manila)

What if my life is the other way around
Wishes fulfilled, desires manifested
Things I hoped for, right here before me
But literally never happened
Sometimes I question my life
If the absence of love has a purpose
Or because of my choices
I'm trap with things that never excites me
Force to accept what life offers me
But I know it doesn't make me complete
Feels like lots of things missing
And all I do is just imagine the life I
always wanted to have
