The author titled it a brokenheart ...I think it should be in plurals ...
I know you have been hurt
But you've also been there for me
Wish I couldn't see or feel
Your needs I could heal so easily
My pain hurts so much
I know where you've been
If I could only have one wish
It would be for you to let me in
We will both sit and wait
Until our hearts grow old
I can only pray and hope
One day I'll be the one you hold
Of all the times that we could be
I think that you and I
Could have had a real chance
I think it was meant to be
Over times we've both changed
Our kids have gone too
Still live our separate ways
Can't help but look back on all the olden days
It's many years later, still wondering why
We never did it, we never did try
Life is so precious and much too short
To both live like this, both with a broken heart . . .

Reading it brought tears to my eyes...lol..to find love and to lose it due to responsibilities..met too late..or was it cowardice on both part??
Cowardice for not wanting to hurt anyone...not wanting to trust that the love we feel is actually true love...not wanting to believe that we can bring happiness to the other person..
cowardice for wanting something yet too afraid to make it come true...and thus carrying our misery till the end of time...making all plausible excuses not to ...children..family...very noble...yet oh so sad...in the end it's not about them..it's about us...scared..
if the kids ever find out they would laugh in our faces...they would scold at us...why didnt you? they would ask...
in the end the kids grow up...they have families of their own...and then it's just us...was the sacrifice worth it?? was it enough to erase the memories? was it enough to never wonder what would have been...and no..once in a life time is not enough...I want a whole life time...
NO...
