If only

I had tried harder

To hold on.

If only

I still had you by

My side.

I let go

Because I wasn’t willing

To put in the

Work,

To give it

My all.

I realize now

That you were worth it,

Worth all the hardship,

The pain,

The strife,

But now it’s too late,

You’re no longer in my life.

Now that I have had

Time to think hard

About all that I’ve done,

I realize that I

Have not won…

Rather,

I’ve lost.

Lost you,

And in turn,

Lost myself,

For you were my

Everything,

My reason for living

On

And moving

Forward.

If only…

If only…

I wish I hadn’t

Lost you.
