Lost Potential

full of potential like a timely three act play the quintessential long ago and far away they would find no brighter day locked close together as if time could not move them not knowing whether they'd handle what was to come their moorings became undone hints of rejection hiding in common place words like introspection repeating that's for the birds little chance for afterwards no use debating their future left on that plane evaporating like new fallen summer rain what once was won't be again
