Memories linger, shadows of time,
Echoes of choices that never align.
Paths I didn't take, words left unsaid,
Whispers of moments now haunting my head.

Regret's a companion, silent and cold,
Reminding me gently of stories untold.
Yet in this sorrow, a lesson so vast,
To cherish the present and learn from the past.
