Missed Connections

 Poem: 10 minutes. Setting it to music: 20 minutes. Awesome.

Missed Connections


The second hand slips by
so quickly
measuring out moments
clips them off like Fate
trimming the strings of destiny

I saw you, I caught you
falling for me in between
tick and tock
You saw me, you caught me
staring at you

It happened in the grocery line
in the parking lot
at the Dollar store
I'd give a hundred more 
to catch a glimpse of you again

All I have of you is a fading
memory of that smile
though all the might-have-been
last me all day
the second hand it stole
our possibilities away

There was that one last
chance we didn't seize
I should have said hello
you should have said, don't go
