Mistakes

We Can't Undo

Endings begin with a thought, and you

Clutch to grasp what you cannot hold.

Let them see that you can change.

Internally terrified, be outwardly determined,

Present everywhere but here and now.

Soon you'll discover - time will always run out.

Etched in their eyes is the final goodbye.
