For so many days.
So many nights.
I’ve been lost.
Trapped in the cell of my own mind.
I once thought all I wanted was to be left alone.

I never knew who I could trust,
there was so much confidence.

I had so many years before.
Once I left, I did not wish to return.

The time we once spent together was close.

It was the best time of my life.
You reminded me of what love really felt like.
I always felt safe in your arms.
If I had it to do,
do all over again.

Yes, a few changes I would make.

I would try to be more present.
I would try to be more patient.
I would try to be more delicate.
I would not put my heart away.
I would not have put so much fire to our feet.
I would have been gentler in our fights.
I would not have had so many sleepless nights.

I would have finished those things that which I started.
I would have laughed more.
I would have cried less.

The one thing I would like never to do again is say goodbye.
