Missed and Taken

But what about the not missed opportunities?
What about the moments you grabbed the first moment you saw them?
And that chance broke you?
Would the thought "at least I tried" save me?
Because they were right
The moments you took
You relished
Are meant to pass
The pain of missing something irreplaceable
Something we cannot go back to
Something we wont experience again
What about that?
What about the empty feeling
Of the past memory that will be lost someday?
Should I be glad I took the time?
Should I?
Because I think its more painful
The after effect of slowly getting farther from a memory
Than going farther from a haunting what if
So tell me
Should I take the chance when I see them?
And just wait for the inevitable pain to wash me
In waves of nostalgia
And despair?
