Best Years of my Fucking Life

Every single day,

I try to force myself to ask you.

Every single day,

I come within half an inch of pulling it off.

But that day was different,

Because that day was the last time

That I saw you.

I knew in those last thirty seconds,

Throughout goodbye hugs

And mild tears,

That this was the last opportunity I had to ever tell you how I felt

And I grabbed that opportunity.

Now, years later, I wonder,

Why did I let go?
