A Time for Us
There was a time
and what a time it was
when I was young, foolish and desperate for love,
looking here and there, most everywhere
and unknowingly, I did not see
you were the one truly meant for me.
You smiled and you laughed
joked how we had shared the past
and if I waited long enough,
I'd see through your calm and quiet disposition
a now familiar recognition
of how love pops where least expected.
Today, far too late
I look back with sorrow and regret
the laughter ringing in my ears yet,
you stood waiting
and I foolishly hesitating
became lost in the moments never taken.
