"You were always my best supporter." 
Written on the back of a photograph.
Twenty years later, read again, 
the words held new meaning.

Today I see a new friend 
blossom from within the old. 
An offering given freely, 
never retracted. 
One regret looms: 
Why didn't I see it sooner?

All the time wasted.
All the words never shared.
All the memories never made.
All the world faded...

Another chance, a new life.
Will this morning bring a soaring tale, 
an enlightened song? 
Fate, do not let this one pass.
