Because…If only…

Because, life in the moment is never dreaded…
Because, you can see the sad times from her past..

If only, you never dreaded this moment…
If only, your future mirror was a happy time…

Because, you lied about the ocean…
Because, songs made you rage in anger…

If only, you rode the beautiful waves…
If only, you played happy tunes…

Because, you sat in Central Park alone for years…
Because, the sky yelled at you…

If only, you were kind to the animals in Central Park…
If only, you kissed the beautiful sky at dusk…

Because, time destroyed your life…
Because, nothing EVER mattered to you…

If only, time was your lover…
If only, EVERYTHING everyone loved mattered…

Because, you left this world…
If only… I could love you again…

Thank you, it’s written about trying to be happy and to understand that EVERYTHING we do now is a lesson!
It’s also for a person I knew looked at life really negative!

On the new topics page it looks like 'Becauself'
I thought it was on purpose: Because + elf put together in one word.

That made me have an off-the-rails entrance into your poem.
And it was a little like waking on a sunny day that turned into dread like quicksand.
