Reverse Reserve

It takes a lot to be…
To be alone and take it all

You learnt not how to fall
But you did…and then you knew how
Looking back is all you do now

You learnt not what is right
You made a choice hoping you would rejoice
Of how you do….
Looking back is all you do now

Your dreams scaled an altitude
You dreamt not of solitude
Of that you are….
Looking back is all you do now

You felt the breeze brush by you
You learnt not the meaning of the hush
And that you know…
Looking back is all you do now

You parted; having paved your way
You feared not the cul-de-sac
Of where you are…
Looking back is all you do now

Your jury knows all but your fury
You learnt not the miscellany of a potpourri
And as (life) is…
Looking back is all you do now

Looking back is all you do now…
Time is not too late to take a vow
And as whom you are…
You deserve the lovely shower of a bow
