Is It Too Late? Poem by Nebil Elias

So many times, I thought of that day
When you left without uttering a word and closed the door
The pain in your eyes burned through me then
When I close my eyes now, I see it again

A love so young, so unbridled and raw
Being trapped and confused was all that I saw
How could I know what I feel today?
I'm heartless after you went away

Years went by and we both moved along
While part of my heart was still singing your song
Then I saw you again and I can see
The same eyes, the same heart
Looking right back to me

I held our friendship so tight
Trying to heal what I did and do what's right
I'm afraid to let go
To lose you again? How do I know?

Faced with the options
You know you must choose
Will it work with us this time?
Or will we lose?
Is it about timing or faith?
Together again?
Or is it too late?
