Fixing Regrets

Days are flying by so fast But there is something in my past Regretting I will never know How our love was meant to grow Blooming into something great I kick myself--- It's much too late To repair the brokenness From the lack of openness That was supplied on the way Of turning my back everyday On problems you tried to repair But I did not want to hear Compromise with good solutions Leaving you with bad contusions Of my selfishness and greed I left in your hour of need Calling my name--- begging me To step back and really see There is something here worth saving But my soul was only craving A world of freedom far from here Just leaving you standing there With a sad and painful look Now I wish that I could book A time machine and travel back To a place and time to smack Some sense in my foolish head So I don't live with this dread Taking you inside my arms Fixing the things I did wrong

This immediately made me think of Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time". This is something to which we can all relate. I adore how you convey universal feelings and sentiments. Grrrrreat piece! <3

Robin, I felt like I was flipping through photographs and letters of they who once were part of my life and thinking of what could and what could not have been.
