Thoughts

My thoughts are filled with things I wished I could have done
Of all those opportunities I let just slip away, of the girl I wished I'd won
I either was too young or old, or simply didn't try
Looking back I wish I hadn't let those times go by
I wish I'd seen things as they were and tried a whole lot more
Tried to understand, been more honest and a whole lot less cocksure
Looking back we realise the things we just let go
Or didn't understand, didn't appreciate or simply didn't know
You broke my heart; it's probably my own fault
But that doesn't replace the emptiness, that's your fault
I know that there's uneasiness and I put you on the spot
I know you have concerns but putting that behind us there's still a lot
A lot of genuine emotion, and quite a bit of feeling if not a little love
Close your eyes, see with heart and mind, we're like hand and glove
Nothing good comes easy these things are hard to find
Then there's too much lost on opportunities which become a speck in time
Don't be disillusioned or follow others rules
Believe your heart and emotions, not to, is practised only by the fools
Love is precious; take it when you can,
To love and lose is devastating but never to have loved is worse
Never to have loved is life's greatest curse.
