"Memories Never Made "
by Wes Fessler

Why is it that I never notice until it's too late?
When you ask for my attention, and I say you'll have to wait.
I get so caught up in other thing I don't care much about.
While I spend my time achieving, somehow you end up left out.
I tell you this is just the way it has to be right now,
and I can only give you what my schedule will allow.
But since I'm working hard, one day we'll have more time to share,
and then I'll have more time for you, to show you that I care.
Still that's no consolation for your loneliness right now.
You'd rather have attention than a hopeful distant vow.
Your tears revealed the truth, though you tried not to let it show.
I wish I'd seen it sooner, but again I was too slow.
So many plans I've made for you, only to be delayed.
How can I say I'm sorry for the memories never made?
