THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY…
I think of you often,
wonder what might have been.
~
If I’d done things differently,
been braver with my heart.
~
Time has only heightened,
a sense of deep regret.
A love that could have lasted,
cast adrift too soon.
~
You left to find someone new,
to fix your pain inside.
I let you go without a fight,
made you think I didn’t care.
~
The choices we make,
that change our whole lives.
It sometimes takes time,
to know what we’ve done.
~
But now I can so clearly see,
that you for me will always be.
~
The one that got away.
