A Smile Lost

Just as another bud of the plant

I saw and ignored

Later when I looked at you again, the yellow circle felt like just another flower in the garden

Sitting and swinging with the wind

Looking in a direction with nothing to think

Little did I know that you were the sunflower

Sitting and looking at the sun and swaying while singing love songs in your heart

Little did I know that I was your sun

Now that I look back I see a chance that I lost

A turn I missed in reaching my success

A step I forgot to build in the stairs to reach heights

And mostly a smile to get me going each day

But in the end we only regret the chance we didn’t take
