Does it ever cross your mind
what could have been?
I find myself haunted all the time
Do you still think of me?
Did any of those precious moments
make an impression on you?
I’m still stuck on your smile
Every so often I can picture it again
and I die inside a little more
over the thought of what will never be
Drowning again in possibilities
lost to us long ago
I’ll never know
if I ever even cross your mind
I couldn’t have made the same impression
that you did on me
And not that it matters now
but it won’t leave my head
even after all this time and distance
The space between can’t get much wider
despite my wish to build that bridge
I never found a way to start
So it all just drifts away
As much as it would soothe me
to find that we shared something
to dwell on failed opportunity
And what I long since lost
is a pain that I could live without
