'From Me To You' Poem by Bernard Snyder

I've watched you travel back and forth
searching for your comfort zone,
instead of reaching out to lend a hand,
I let you stumble from home to home,
I went as far as promising you the world,
knowing it wasn't in my possession,
I really wanted to give my all
but I didn't trust my intuition,
when I first learned you'd found happiness
I didn't know exactly what to feel,
I congratulated you and wished you well,
but deep down I wanted you still,
I used to reflect back on what I'd lost
and regretted not fighting to make things right,
at times I even felt I was being punished
for foolishly losing not once, but twice,
to have been given another opportunity
this is far greater than any dream,
I know I'll have a better approach
because I know now how much this means.
