Regrets

Too old for him, too far away

Are obstacles that lay between us

But he opened my heart and closed my eyes

And I thought that nothing could stop us.

The old adage if you love someone

Will return if they were always yours

Is something I hope for with all my being

But I make no claims on his heart.

I want to tell him how much I miss him

And how sorry I am inside

To try to help him understand

My crazy hazy mind.

I felt I had to let him go

That I was no longer worthy

I only want what's best for him

His happiness is what's important.

So I hope he has but one fond memory

And sees me in a better light

Than the way I sabotaged our path

And left without a fight.
