Could Have
You appeared into this life of mines
At very stressful time
I was letting go & you were pulling in
So I thought that was a sign
Turned a sad picture into a pretty painting
And you were the design
Told me from the start
“Don’t look back because I cant get left behind”
Those words and so many more
Like are you really ready
Told her yes but in my chest
Knew that there was something heavy
A damaged heart & high emotions
Which could break me any day
But on the surface: calm and cool
Is how it was displayed
Infatuation at such a high degree
That is was profound
Because when it I think of it I think of you
And it seems to get me down
How I let her go so easy
How I distract you with my past
Letting my history be the reason
That me and you didn’t last
My selfishness caused you to leave
I know to you it wasn’t fair
But do you ever think of me
And honestly can you say that you don’t care
And I know you learn from life
But maybe we could have been
You’ll always be inside my heart
That part will just be dim
