Missed
It was all perfect:
the night was clear,
our chat was funny,
and the time was dear.
---
You were all smiles,
and your eyes were bright;
I was confident
and the moment felt right.
---
We talked a while
sharing moments of fun,
but the night had an end
and the goodbyes begun.
---
Now I wonder if somehow
can this be repeated?
---
I promise: for next time
It won't be a miss
I'll give you a hug
and a sweet, good night kiss.

Lovely poem- a very heartfelt one! ''We talked a while sharing moments of fun, but the night had an end and the goodbyes begun.''
Aww this one’s such a softie! That almost moment we’ve all felt—and the quiet hope for a do-over. Loved it! ✨
good work👍
