I never felt regret
Until later today
When I sent you an invite
Vulnerability on display
Standing together
In a crowded room
Didn’t expect in-person
To feel like a Zoom.
You stared at me
With eyes deep brown
I wanted to reach out,
But instead, I backed down.
The power you have…
WAIT, let me rephrase.
The power I GIVE you
Is what causes my craze.
You are nothing to me.
A confused young man.
Stomping through life
Devoid of a plan.
Plummeting through hearts
And surfing across feelings.
Without even a notice
Of those you leave reeling.
I’ve let my regret go
We all make mistakes
Continuing to heal
These countless heartaches.
REGRET
