An Ode To Lost Love
1.
I should have listened.
Alas, I was lost in the crowd.
You may not have said that you loved me,
there was never a reason for it to be said aloud.
2.
I should have known better.
I kept pushing you away.
Your patience was tested,
till we each went,
on our own separate way.
3.
Now the years have vanished.
I am grey and older.
I may not miss you all that much,
yet each day seems colder.
4.
Time has not eased anything.
Yet I have no reasons for regret.
Days come and go as always,
but somehow I am unable to forget.
5.
So forgive me if you can.
Not an easy task given my past.
Though I may be unable to absolve myself,
the void I feel is permanent,
my loss shall forever last.
