Keppie Coutts, Maria Alfonsine, Damian de Boos-Smith - Love Letter

Guess I've got my twenties to thank
For all the late nights wasted
On useless conversations with beautiful strangers
The names escape me now

When I took midnight walks
In blizzard conditions
In the middle of winter, put my body into reckless positions
I survived somehow

If I could write a love letter to the past, it would read:

I wish I'd treated you better
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I'd treated you gentler
And I wish we had more time

It was only in growing a human
My body glowing like a swollen moon
On an August night
That I realized something true

I'd been trapped for so long
Focused on the blemishes
Forgetting the power's not in what things look like
But what they can do

If I could write a love letter to the past, it would read

I wish I'd treated you better
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I'd treated you gentler
All we have is time

I could search the ancient books
Looking for conjurers' tricks to make it last
But lost time is lost time
Always out of grasp

If I could write a love letter to the past, it would read

I wish I'd treated you better
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I'd been more present
But there's no present like time
