Regrets
June 3, 2023
Regrets.
They eat away at us.
Stab us in the back when
We aren’t looking
or thinking.
But what hurts me the most
Is that I
Could’ve
Should’ve
Was able to
Do something.
Yet
I just stood there
As I watched time slowly drift us apart.
The memories of us are
Fading away.
So why am I holding onto its fragments?
Maybe I should’ve had more courage.
Maybe I should’ve said something.
Maybe I should’ve held onto you.
But alas
What is the point of thinking about it now?
You and I,
We’re not the same people anymore.
We can’t go back to how it was back then.
But I wish we could.

There are many things that I regret. I always find myself entangled in the same thought process--wishing that something hadn't happened, wishing I had done something else, wanting to go back and undo it all. But none of that can happen. The only thing I can do is move forward and learn from the experience.
