I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away.
	Regretful till this day,
	I kept your love at bay
	and let it slip away.

I had your undying love and true devotion,
passionate romance in arduous motion.
I was so careless with my own emotion
	…I let it slip away

I pushed you away at each chance
choosing an unassuming stance.
Because of my adverse circumstance
	…I let it slip away

You gave your everything for decades
yet I never acknowledged your grades 
and in my pathetic childish charades 
	…I let it slip away

Now I’m wiser, in hopeless remorse
as my life has run its convoluted course.
Without your steadfast love in full force
	…I let it slip away
