Better Decisions

Regret and grief never disappear!

Photo by Alex Green

It may be
too late now
to make
an impression
on your heart

Too late
to be the one
that puts a smile
on your face

with just
the thought
of me

But
if I could
go back
and make
better decisions

I would’ve
never let
the memories
we shared

or the time
we spent
slip away

as
I now regret
every second
I don’t spend
in the warmth
of your embrace.

Regret and grief never disappear! They may reduce over time, but they never, ever disappear.
