The regret of what was never
The look in your eyes, hoping that we could happen,
The kiss of goodbye that pulled us down from heaven.
Was it regrets of letting feelings get deeper,
Or regrets of not fighting for each other?
Unspoken words, not a trace of any lies,
pain of knowing we didn’t get to roll the dice.
a lesson to never fly close to the fire,
Fear of knowing that we can never fly higher.
The greatest love story that was never told,
Something true that we will forever hold.
Like air that we can feel but can never touch,
Held our breath underwater till it was too much.
A brief moment that could’ve been forever,
The golden mark that serves as a reminder.
Like a tattoo that will forever linger,
With every regret of what was never.
(Please provide any criticism or feedback, this is a part 2 of my poem “what was never”)
