halfway

i was in the shallows of my thoughts

letting the water lap between my fingers

and as i began to allow myself to drift deeper out

by the swell of the waves

i realised the saddest things have always been the half-ways 

the people you don't get to know properly

the dreams you give up on part way through

the projects that get lost in the clutter.

the saddest things 

have always been the

'what it could of become' s

and the 'places it could of taken you'

but didn't.

half way is the opportunity 

that lost your hand in the crowd

and now you don't ever get to watch them grow up and blossom.

they are the efforts wasted 

and the loss that could not of been so.
