Inspired by a real-life conversation
PS: This is not ChatGPT

I've been beating myself up lately
And I know it's only you who can understand me
Not because you've walked in these shoes
But because my heart still wanders back to you
Your silence leaves an echo
And in that echo, my mind ruminates
My thoughts spin like they're at a disco
Dancing until buried feelings germinate
I hold up the scale and watch it tip
Its balance swaying, ready to dip
The right side weighs heavy on my heart
The left side pales in comparison from the start
I ask myself, "What if?"
What if I'd been more assertive
Risking it all because you're worth it
What if my actions had spoken louder than fear
Holding you tighter, keeping you near
I guess you'll always be
The one who got away from me
Or maybe there's still a chance
For what we never got to be
