Analysis of Time



To go back in time would have been a lovely thing,
and go back in time I wish I did.
I could have been the one to hold you,
to kiss you,
and care for you all throughout the night,
but here you are,
considering you and that other person together
to be a delight.

About this poem

I wrote this when the person I liked started dating someone else and I didn't really know what else to say.
