All those discarded


what I wouldn't give
so many times said
looking back on the sidewalk passed
it could have been fun
it might have been the moment
that would have changed it all
that definition of my life before it
and my life thereafter
it should have been the time
I should have said that
which would have meant more
if I had known before
what I've since learned
it looked as though I should have gone forward
instead of making that turn
I thought I should pass it up
this time, there'll be another
I'll keep it to myself
I thought was best
it wasn't time to pop the tab
and pour out my soda just yet
