apples, oranges and pears too.

how can i say this?
that i miss you.
how many years has it been
since i've held your hand?
our innocence has faded,
washed away with the tide.
the times have changed us,
but we can always say that we tried.
you're doing your thing,
and i'm doing mine.
and i'm happy about it,
and so are you.
but who can help but to stop and wonder.
what might have been?
and in the end, it's all about the choices we make.
the chances we take.
the hearts that we break (and mend).
the lessons we learn.
the memories we burn.
the awards that we earn.
the regrets we hold,
as we keep growing old
and unable to fix our mistakes.
mistakes.
the mistakes we made.
but i guess i wouldn't trade...
what's meant to be is what it is.
and life throws you lemons sometimes.
and sometimes it throws you apples, oranges and pears too.
but you live.
and you learn.
and you keep on going
until you cannot go any longer.
and then,
the world will keep on going.
