We were young
Equal parts brave and terrified
I made the first move
It was all very brief
Few words, if any spoken
Decades have since passed
If I were happy now
I would not be looking back
So, I do
More often than I’d like
I push down the regret
Trying to erase your image
The memory
Forcing my heart to move on
Wisdom and clarity came late
and with them only pain
I wish you well my love
I have missed my chance
Unless…
PossiblyÂ
SomedayÂ
The universe has other plans for us
Ah, damn my hopeful
Foolish heart.
