The Things I Regret
by Kacie M. Prather
I regret the day I hugged you tight
and told you it was over,
I regret the sobs I heard you cry
and the tears that fell on my shoulder.
I regret the day I let you go
saying I needed space,
even though in saying those words
it truly was the case.
I regret that I lost touch with you,
just let each week slip away,
that anger replaced the love we'd shared,
that cruel words we would say.
I regret the mark and words I left you with,
the fire deep in my heart,
I regret I said I never wanted to talk to you,
but your letter made me angry from the start.
I regret that I didn't follow my feelings,
and call and ask forgiveness,
I regret that I took so much time to realize
you are my weakness.
I regret that now I'm left alone,
you've found another love,
that deep inside I just can't find
a way to rise above,
the stubborn pride that keeps me
regretting all my moves,
the feeling that I don't have the time
to wonder if it's you I'll lose.
