Precious

You forget 
Or you never even knew 
You forgot the importance 
Missed the moments 
You can’t reclaim them 
You can’t change the past 
You just have the now 
The now that creates the future 
The now that can enlighten 
It can offer that second chance 
A needed redemption 
A wanted newness 
It’s so precious 
So delicate 
It’s not infinite 
It’s very limited 
So live it now 
Because regret has a tomorrow
