Lost Chance

There he was, standing proud and tall.

Yet, between us, there is an invisible wall.
How I wish I could talk to him and say,
That even at night, he shines like the day.

He sat directly across from me, at the table.
I would have spoken to him, had I been able.
It was like fate had played with me,
That table wasn't where i was supposed to be.

I secretly peek at him, from the corner of my eye,
His handsome visage is the cause of my sigh.
If only I didn't have to stay away from him,
Then maybe right now, I wouldn't be so grim.

many times, my heart debated with my mind.
If only time I could rewind....
So that I could have asked you without much difficulty,
to have a visible memory taken of you and me.

Who is now the one with regrets?
Who is now the one who frets?
The chance that I did not take,
Had left my heart discontented in its wake.

Now I blame myself for the lost chance,
because all I could do was stare at your stance.
I guess.. a coward is what i must be called,
For the chance of which I failed to take hold.
