The Memory

I watch the time go by.
I think of the past,
Of all the things I felt,
Of memories that last.

There's one I remember most.
It's about a boy I once knew.
When I saw him I panicked.
I didn't know what to do.

I could make it different
If I could change one day.
I could re-choose my acts,
I could re-think what I say.

I would make it better.
I would love instead of hate.
But it's too late now,
and I must suffer my fate.

But I think about it daily
And how it could be,
If I didn't go with the flow,
But just acted like me.
