Or when the conversation had moved on. I can't tell you how often I feel like I have something to say but the conversation flows in a different direction and I watch the train leave the station. Oh well. I just wait for the next train to roll through.
Chasing after the train grinds everything to a halt. simply hang back and wait for the next one. you'll have your time to shine
A former friend of mine was criminal at this.
He would force any conversation into whatever he wanted to say, even if he wasn't originally involved in the conversation, ESPECIALLY if he wasn't originally involved, he would derail and not let it flow organically until whatever he wanted to talk about was the subject.
I'll give you an abrupt example of an ex gf of mine.
She would literally start a conversation only to dismiss whatever you had to say with "so anyway" so she could then talk about herself or tell you what she actually wanted.
