I Regret the Unspoken

There are things in life that I have only seen in pictures But I do not count myself deprived There are places in this world I have not been but I do not long for them There are gourmet foods I've never tried Designer clothes I have not worn Exotic cars I'll never drive These things do not weigh heavy on my heart There are many things I will not do Many places I will not see I will not regret never having done them I will not regret never having seen them Because I know within my heart These things were not meant to be However! There is one thing that weighs on my heart The words I've left unspoken those I do regret There are people who have gone on Never knowing what they meant to me I've learned a valuable lesson from This weight that I have borne I've learned to never leave unspoken What someone means to you

One of my often spoken lines.... "people are so much more important than things". This is a great message in your poem Edward !!
