Things

Things I have
Things I don't
Things to come
Things gone by

Things I wish I had
Things I have I wish I didn't
Things I said,
Things I wish I'd have said
Things I wish I had not said

Things I miss
Things I don't know
Things said to me
Things I've accomplished
Things I haven't,

Things around me
Things I know
Things I don't
Things that show

Surrounded by things,
In time and space,
Lost in the midst of things,
One thing I am aware of most of all
Is the thing I called your love
That fleeting thing I wasted
That thing I never understood,
That thing I now so long for,
That thing that's gone for good.
