My Biggest Regret


My biggest regret are those days that we spent Washed up on the sand Intertwined My mind goes back to yesterday’s Well spent with you Different places Different times Two clasped hands visually together Yet soulfully apart Distance only felt by the heart You see, you say its not me And I say its not you Both just beings That wished you plus me equaled two But anyway back to what matters the most The regrets that choke me into staying these words Are the host of the party that I didn’t plan Didn’t want to attend without you in my hand Like we used to So I roll with the waves And sit on the shore Thinking of all we had before How days turned to weeks A month a year Before I saw you Standing here by my side The choices I made are what drive me insane And when the silence is the only one calling my name I remember Why I said goodbye in December Yet here it is a week before what could have been 365 days of time spent together But it wasn’t was it 365 days Every hour on the hour Spent parting ways Digital madness is all that we were And the handful of times that our hands intertwined were a blur Of time Always running on the sand Never knowing where we’re going Just hoping That it was enough to keep Holding on to something That we thought was there That really wasn’t Because time doesn’t stop My regret isn’t something that is truly defined Because those moments that our hands intertwined I cherish more than you’ll even know I miss this Us Together And so I keep telling myself that its not forever That maybe one day The depart will be over And time wont matter So did I make the right choice I don’t really know But my biggest regret Is that I cant let you go
