destiny....

you were gone without warning
slipped through my fingers
and out of my life unexpectedly
now a life of regret is all i have
when that's the last that one should have
but i tell myself that everything happens for a reason
somehow the reason isn't uncovered just yet
and maybe it never would be at all

so tell me why did it turn out this way
a way i never imagined
if the truth unfolds
you'd see what you meant
you'd see the meaning of everything
but now you've flown
to a place i'll never go
far beyond where my destiny would ever take me

if i'd turn back the clock
i can't help but wonder
how would it be for you
will you see what's meant to be
will you do the things you've done
and would you give me hope
and then take it all away
while i stand there waiting all these while

so tell me why did it turn out this way
a way i never imagined
if the truth unfolds
you'd see what you meant
you'd see the meaning of everything
but now you've flown
to a place i'll never go
far beyond where my destiny would ever take me

too late to even figure it out
way too late to wonder
should have been much earlier
way before destiny called...........
