Oh, how I’d taken you for granted.

For the risks I did not take.

For the opportunities I overlooked.

For not appreciating your company.

I wish I would have known,

of what would have come next…….

Had I not been so naïve,

            Blind

            Distracted

Disturbed

Oh, I wonder what could have been.

If I had embraced your presence a bit longer,

but now I’m just stuck.

       Trapped

       Empty

       Alone

All that time is lost……

I can never get it back

All that remains

Is forward
