I never cease to be surprised,
As I look over my shoulder,
Just how clear has become
My view - of you!
I used to struggle to see
When you were still with me,
But the tears in my eyes
Blinded my sight.
Now, as I look back,
I see what then I lacked,
Because I was too closed,
And too close, and too busy.
I did not give you what I should have,
And I also did not receive from you,
And so, our relationship suffered,
And we did not make it through.
The sadness of my life is this,
That I missed your kiss,
And I missed my chance
For an honest romance,
For I was too busy then
To Deeply understand
What I have now grown to know,
Now that I am alone, and old.

SSS, this is a bittersweetly stunning heartbreaker. I think many of us will relate to these feelings, be we old or not. t x
