Lost Love

You are the one
I should have chosen
Didn’t realize my heart
Would leave with you
Didn’t appreciate what I had
Now it’s too late
I often wonder what
Could have been
You loved me for me
Something hard to find
I didn’t take it seriously
Took your love for me lightly
Didn’t realize I needed you
Like you needed me
I wish I knew then what
An important role you
Played in my life
I often still see you
But our eyes no longer meet
The love I used to see in your eyes
Are now vacant
Why did I take you for granted?
Wish I had the courage
To tell you how I feel
Turn back time and appreciate
What I had
Wish we had met at a different time
Now I’m older wiser
I wish you were mine
Next time you see me
Look deep into my eyes
They will  show the truth
In my heart
And I hope deep down
Your love for me is not gone
That it’s enough
For you to forgive me
Give me a chance to prove to you
That the love you felt was not one way
