No sense pining for what might have been
when what might have been will never be.
If only I didn't get a glimpse of what I think I want
when I started looking at the possibilities.
If only I were convinced of
the insignificance of potentials.

No use getting worked up over anything
when Something has now become Nothing.
(or maybe there wasn't anything at all to begin with)
If only I didn't have an aversion to
every thing that's within my grasp.
If only I didn't have a tendency to develop
an obsession over what I couldn't have.

Blame it all on my thick skull and my tough shell.
I'm sorry patience also isn't one of your virtues.
Or maybe -
I'm sorry what we had wasn't enough.
- is more appropriate.
In any case,
I'm sorry it took eons to get through me.
And my classic line:
Sorry I'm late.
