I stumble and fall
My heart skidding to a stop
As I realize the lost moments
I failed to seize
And make them mine.
I had cut off all the golden strings
Connecting me to others
And lost myself
In a sea of loneliness
If only I had known
I would've kept those bonds alive
Until they had blossomed like flowers
If only I had known
I would've watered them forever
To keep them from dying out
But instead I let it wither away
Letting regret come in its place
To remind me of the previous time I have lost
With people
