Challenge



If I'd known...
Too Blind to See
If I’d known I would never see you again,
I wouldn’t have hidden my feelings
I would have told you exactly how I felt
I would have begged you to keep me in your life
No matter how hard it would be,
Being apart is harder
Knowing you don’t know how much I love you is harder
Why didn’t I realize how much you needed me?
I tried to ignore the tears in your eyes
When I said I was never coming back
But keep down,
I wanted to cry as well
If I’d known you wouldn’t move on,
I would have never given you the chance to
How did I not see how hard it was for you to trust me?
I didn’t realize you wouldn’t be able to trust again
How could you?
The one person you opened up to left you
I wish I’d known

Oh, you broke my heart. I can relate to this. Many can, of course. In particular, "How did I not see how hard it was for you to trust me?......I wish I'd known" You made me feel this. Thank you. I'm glad you entered my challenge.

I appreciate the vulnerability here. Missed chances or opportunities are definitely a relatable source of regret for a lot of people, myself included.
