Louis T. Delia - What You Leave Behind

Centuries from now, all they'll be talking about
A girl or a boy that you just couldn't shake
You breathe in the air to make room for your head
But the visions, the smells, their hand at arm's length, it all sticks
And you are doomed to think of nothing but another
To sigh and roll over in bed, longing for an embrace
Yes, you are doomed to could-haves and regrets, and all the uncertainties
Forever plagued by the concept of what you leave behind
Her hair that fell in grace, the smile on his face
The wonder of how much pain this mortal body can take
You pride yourself on all of your hard work
The genius that flows in your veins, the life that could
You've come so far, and the start keeps on falling back
If this was the end, would you be content with what you left behind?
And it is true that there are billions of us
Remembered for all of our quirks, and all our mistakes
Yes, it is true that there are so many of us out there
But for you to be you and be here, what will it take?
