Regrets
Lost in thought, not quite awake
Remembering something, someone, somewhere,
Wandering in the maze of memories,
Not even sure since when.
Still, combing through all the things that were
Spoken but not heard,
Wanted yet not pursued,
Feelings felt yet not expressed,
Dreams dreamt not materialized,
So many things, read but never understood,
Things touched yet so far away,
People we met that went away,
Never to be seen again,
Never to be heard ever again,
Yet longing for them all the same.
These are the nuggets that survive,
Always inside, hiding in plain sight
Waiting for the silence and still,
Rising to the fore only when it's quiet,
These are my regrets ever alive,
Until the day that i die.
