Missed Opportunity (Letting love walk away again)

Missed Opportunity (Letting love walk away again)

I saw you see me...with a smile
That melted away with disappointment when I didn't say “Hey”
Your thoughts of yourself may have have felt so many ways
But it wasn't your fault of looks because you look amazing
It was me having a hard time reaching for beauty
Now the thing is I use the excuse fear of getting hurt
Or sill missing what I had forever wishing she was still her
The truth is I've been fearful like this my whole life
When it clicked in my head that I wanted you too
I turn rush back after I reached my destination
Running with confident to find you and hope you still want to get to know me
But already went away going on with your life in your world
Now your just another pretty memory I let get away
Haunting me wondering how it would have been with you
Seeing you smile in the morning
Making you laugh at night
Possibly no connection what so ever
Being turned off by each others minds
Or the worst choice of our lives to ever speak
But we will probably never know how this would have been
Because I missed another opportunity
When I once again let potential love walk away

It's all on a purpose, opportunity to get assured love, find your beauty, she's there in your heart having you decently straightforward, isn't she ?



p.s : The road seems shorter when you keep on walking, ain't it true ?

............Waiting on you to write some more of your beautiful words.

The forum has been lacking some poetry from the FENIX for sometime now.

I know. I've been slacking. I'll have more time when I finish school.
