Sometimes
We fail to pay attention
Fail to perceive the changes
Fail to see the ones we love
Sometimes
We fail to rein in
The thoughts in our heads
The images in our mind
Sometimes
We fail to recognize
The life we have missed
The ones we love and lost
It is then we notice
What we have left
The remnant of a life
Too late to regain.
