Maybe I should have told you how lovely you were

when the sun made you shade your look-away eyes.

Maybe I could have been more help with your troubled daughter

when you spoke of your regrets for her.

Maybe our concert tickets I left for you after we parted

was the right gesture for me to say goodbye.

Maybe I should have realized your crowded past

didn't leave much room for our future. 

Maybe maybe just wasn't enough.
