you want to meet someone 
but don't find time
and then the person has gone
leaving behind a gaping hole in your heart
filled with nothing but emptiness
and remorse

you want to say something
but let it be
and then the moment has gone
you never capture the chance again
and leave you wondering how things would be
if you had uttered the words you didn't

you want to go somewhere,
do something
discover things 
experience life differently
but you don't find the time
or make the time
and  lose that one opportunity 

time slips by
and so do you.
moments come
sometimes again
for you to grab 
tentatively, graciously,
joyfully

but often times
a moment lost
is gone for all eternity

so should you fill your heart with grief?
with regret?
with thoughts of what could have, 
should have been?

the moment's gone.

what should have, could have
was not meant to be.

As a dark pre-monsoon cloud fills up my sky,

these thoughts come to my mind. Another day, another season, a hundred moments fleeting by.

As a dark pre-monsoon cloud lurks in my sky
these thoughts come to mind.
Another day, another season,
a hundred moments fleeting by.

Ciao,
