I Could Have a wind just blew through me it gave me a chill a memory caught by surprise one that went deep one I thought I had hidden memory of a moment moment in time when things could have been so different but like so many others a mistake I had simply let slip by I could have acted differently I could have told you I cared I could have I should have but I tried to save you save you from me and in saving you I lost you altogether and then I didn’t know it would be the last time and now all this time later just thinking your name takes me back to then "The heart is the toughest part of the body, tenderness is in the hands."
