When the sands of time have finished, And I wait to breathe my last, Will I wish I had done something differently, While reflecting on my past? There is one thing which now comes to mind, A "once in a lifetime" chance I may have lost. When I stifled a dream with a soul mate poet, Because I was afraid of what it might cost. The days, they pass so quickly by. And doors that were open - now close. And stagnantly I still just sit here. Looking for answers that nobody knows. And in my heart I already feel, A loss that swells with every sigh. Of the great love affair I almost had, But instead, let pass me by.
