The Cost of Procrastination

Every fantasy, every dream, every wish she'd ever had
She was leading lady and he was always her man
She didn't know him then but she had hope that he was out there
Searching for her too, searching for her everywhere

That girl is all grown now but she never once let go
Of the possibility that they'd meet and a love would grow
She musta wished real hard because his path led him to her
He knew, she knew, that was their moment for sure

It would exist, never die, whether near or from a distance
It would outlive every obstacle, every challenge and circumstance
It would be bigger than time, than ever changing seasons
That love that she'd longed for was stronger than reasons

Lucky for her, her every wish was granted
Where sometimes she would feel like a princess enchanted
Though she'd learn that nothing worth having was ever easy to keep
With life playing its games but their love was too deep

'Til she would wake one day and realized that she'd lost
That through procrastination she would pay the ultimate cost
He couldn't wait, she wouldn't move, he needed a sign of some sort
It would come when he wasn't looking, she'd given up, he had thought

Her dream, her fantasy, her wish, would be torn to pieces
When he'd move on without her, her gleam turned into creases
Though their love lived on, that's all it would ever be
A timeless entanglement of two souls, infinitely
