Leave it to the fickle fates
To always get in the way
I had a nearly uncontrollable whim
To throw caution to the wind
To cast off all inhibition
Deny all reservation
To go crazy for a bit
Insane, some might call it
But I wanted to take a trip
But those fickle fates
Again got in the way
Threw distance to separate
And denied a perfect day
I wanted to take a chance on a risk
Not worry about consequence
To throw caution to the wind
Insane? It might have been
But she is more than worth it
And if the message had sent
I would've flown to follow it
But those fickle fates
Always getting in the way
Blocked the machine from sending
A message for this day's happy ending
And, as I sit here in this room
I blame myself a little too
Because I should've just followed my whim
And let the time determine
When I threw caution to the wind
