My Regrets

by Emily   Nov 14, 2009


If I could take back anything
Push rewind and start something
Anew.
Here is what i would do:

I would have held on to you tighter
The night that we rolled extasy or
I would have told you that I loved you
When i was sober.
I would have taken it a little slower

I would have listened to you
When you were feeling blue
I would have talked to you when you were at work.
I would not have been such a jerk.

I would have loved you with my whole heart
and i would have shown more of myself.
I would not have held myself back so much
I would have made love
To you

I would have taken your comments to heart
I would have talked to you when you were
Pushing carts.

i would have listened when you were hurting

I would have been there
I would have listened
I would have let you inside
I would not have to cry
Now that your gone
And all that's left is a silly song

I would have told you how i felt
That you really made my heart melt
And that the reason why i always held back
Was because i didn't know if you felt the same
But now that i know that your feelings were real
I feel dumb that it was mine that i did conceal.

    I feel as if whoever you wrote this about, you pushed away, instead of let them in, to get to know you. You kept your distance because you were afraid, you didn't know if what you could have done would of been the right choice.
    Believe me i am in the same boat.
    Be strong, remember you have one life, live it well, live it with passion.
    We are bound to regret things, but it all depends on how you see it yourself.
