You Could've

you could've did it — or not
time goes by, we don’t realize
and we’re all stuck, what if my
lips kissed those I only looked at
devouring my soul,
squeezing that last drop of self

for what?

yeah, I’m clearly
sidelined by my fantasies —
where did all my philosophical ideals go?
I don’t know.

but it’s true —
a kiss could’ve made me
the best version of a man.

and since you didn’t,
maybe I’ll become
the best of all humankind.
