lost chance

i think it could have worked
i think it could have been
    wine & honey
    intoxicating
        real
it could have been
   you in my bed
down for the count
  me in your arms
 wicked & warm
it could have tasted
  enough like forever
to get us through now
 it could have 
    exploded
put fireworks
 in the sky
it could have been
  more than you
   bargained for
it could have been
          good
