The Chance I Didnt Take

Girl I think it’s time To lay it on the line And let you know exactly What’s been on my mind As I reflect on my regrets The one that cuts me deepest Is the one that breaks my soul, the one that broke will The one that haunts me still You’re the chance I didn’t take The dream I failed to chase It’s the love we’ve never made That keeps me in this place Our yesterday’s have turned to years With every day it gets more clear I pray it’s not too late, I changed fate with one mistake You’re the chance I didn’t take I can’t imagine life without you Or the heartache I’d go through If we never would have worked out Now I pay for my excuse You’re the chance I didn’t take The dream I failed to chase It’s the love we’ve never made That keeps me in this place Our yesterday’s have turned to years With every day it gets more clear I pray it’s not too late, I changed fate with one mistake You’re the chance I didn’t take The only one to ever scare me I believe is my soulmate That’s why I’m stuck here with the regret I’ll have to carry to my grave You’re the chance I didn’t take The dream I failed to chase I changed fate with one mistake You’re the chance I didn’t take

We all have that one moment of regret...That chance we didn't take..This poem speaks volumes...It could be about a person we wished to be with..or any other opportunity we could have taken and didnt out of fear. Powerful poem which makes one ponder.
