Regret

Then there was a time, in that hopeless place

When I lay by your side, in your sweet embrace.

Thinking about the future, thinking about the past.

But never thinking how it would be, if that present won’t last.

Then there was a moment, in that sacred place

When I felt it was alright, it was god’s saving grace

Seeing the world buzz by, surviving with everything at par

But never feeling the feeling of you being afar

Then there was a spark, in that enchanted place

When I thought it was mine, your dazzling gaze

Feeling your warmth, when your heart skipped a beat

But never knowing how would I feel, if I were stripped off the heat

Then there is this moment, of being incomplete and unsure

Not knowing a saving grace, not having a shore

When I realize what I had, when I took my life for granted

But knowing I will never live, the life I loved and wanted

Then there is this feeling, of being a man’s wife

Knowing I can’t love him, still I have to lead this life

I try to feel you in his touch; I try to feel you in my heart

But I know you’re not him, you’re not my piece of art

Then there is this time, where I am stuck and owned

I know my limitations and I know my thoughts in stone

But how do I not falter? How do I exist and be?

Knowing that someplace, you’d be waiting for me
