On the List

I could have gone to see you
but I had better things to do.
My priorities were set
and you were low on the list
so I failed to see you
before you left
which didn’t seem like a big deal
since, you know,
“low on the list”
but now
with the train past the station
I’m sort of regretting my choice
and I wish
just a little bit
that I’d rated you higher
and had gone to see you
and said goodbye.
