By the Time I Turned Back, There Was No Shore

I thought I had only missed my chance with you,

all because I was young and reckless.

By the time we met again, I was already covered in wounds.

Some things, once let go, can never be grasped again,

like your love, like my heart, like the gentle breeze on a summer night,

that sticky, soothing comfort lingering for a lifetime, though we only brushed past each other...
