Lost Chances

Posted on Dec 30, 2019May 29, 2020 by Shaily Agrawal

For an eternity

I swam alone

In shallow waters…

In wilderness,

Making splashes

As I went…

Or rode the winds,

Touched the clouds,

Raced the Sun…

Now I walk the streets

For the rest of forever.

Now I wonder…

If I should’ve

Done it together

With you

When I still had a chance…

  Thanks John! Skull lot was dedicated to our latest performance review. My manager had quite a laugh with that one.

  The free photo is from Unsplash.com. My favourite haunt for inspiration. We often have regrets as we move forward because there always someone we left behind…

I think in regrets the former person always seems more enticing than real.

  Hehehe! That’s why we shouldn’t put all eggs in one basket. At least one basket should look enticing enough! 😁
