Should of Been

A word not spoken,
 A meaning never said.
 A thought lost,
 A moment passed.

 Maybe I should have said what I meant.
 Maybe I should have said my mind.
 Maybe I should of thought it out.
 Maybe I should have kept it in.

 I forgot to tell you, 
 well maybe I didn't.
 I forgot to tell you, 
 well maybe I shouldn't.

 Never is a rightful word.
 Never is not an end.
 Never will or never won't.
 Never will be if you never speak.

 Read it again and wonder,
 Read it over and wonder if.
 Read again and the words are the same.
 Read again it won't change.

 To late now,
 you should of spoken.
 To late now,
 words are only a token.

LOvely poem...makes you think...what if? In life we miss on opportunities, we mistake the right moment, we are too late in taking action.....afterwards we realize that it is too late. But there is only one way to deal with this....by moving on. // paul
