Regret

"Why didn't I" "What's wrong with me" It was then The perfect time The perfect place It was there Next to him So close that just by reaching A hand My voice He would have faced me It all stopped Froze Those words pushing to come out My voice urging for his body to listen For it to happen For whispering For speaking For screaming Those important words Those powerful words Capable of change, truth, love They died And the moment slipped away And he looked at his right Far away From my eyes And my voice And my words So ready to come out But stayed inside instead Crushing my heart With the weight of regret
