Second Chance

There is something I never told you,
my timing was never right.
It's a secret I kept from you,
I held it with all my might.

Telling you
would have been a mistake.
At least that's what I told myself
time and time again.

It made that empty feeling go away
even if for the moment.
The idea that you could love me
the way I did you,

Was something I felt,
never thinking you could, too.
Now the years have gone by
and the memories have faded away.

It doesn't seem to matter
until you cross my path once more.
Sitting here thinking
of the time I let pass,
Just wishing for one moment
where I could have a second chance-
Would things have turned out differently?
I haven't got a clue.

Drifting back, I wonder...
What life would have been like
..with you?
