Another Moment

There will never be another moment

Like the one I wasted over you

Convinced that it all happened for a reason

Set myself up for failure

And regrets I have to live with

That briefest of connections

Built and lost in the blink of my eyes

An exercise in never understanding

What I have and just what it all means

I’m sure I’m meant to miss you for forever

You and what your presence came to be

And in the times like these

When I could use a friend

I’ll mourn what I managed to destroy

Instead of hanging on

I’ll likely never get a chance to fix it

This mess I made of what we were becoming

But one day I’ll be happy

One day I’ll find my freedom

And I’ll learn from this failure in the end
