All is well

When I looked away

I lost a chance

Of a future

that might have been

When I paused mid way

The moment just passed

And I lost you there

Wonder how it would’ve been

When I chickened out

Lost courage

At times

when I should have led

I lost so much

That I don’t know

And probably never

will know

Was it just a glance

An unspoken word

A timely hug

Or one single moment?

There’s so much I lost

That I don’t know I lost

I keep assuring self

That all is well
