The Missed Opportunity

Keeping things down,
For oh so long
Is making me drown,
And feel so wrong.

I thought I knew
Just how you felt,
The pain always grew
As my hand was dealt.

Contradicting these thoughts
Surprised me to see,
That really all along
You actually wanted me.

The signs that were given
Pointed far from me,
With feelings interwoven.
Why couldn't I see?

The opportunity is gone,
The chance has passed me by.
I have until the break of dawn
To tell you the reason why.
