Many people say
That
Many things
Are once in a life time
But
Looking from afar
If you wanted
You could do it again
Jumping from planes
Climbing up mountains

I had a once in a life time
Opportunity
But
I turned it down
I thought
“There’s always next time”
But
There wasn’t
No one gets a second chance
To say goodbye

I never got to say goodbye
Or
Tell her that I loved her
Death waits
For no one
Many people say
That
Many things
Are once in a life time
And they were right.
