Realize

you don't realize
how much you love someone
until they're gone
you don't realize
that you have something
until it's gone
..by the time you finally realize..
it's too late
they're gone.. 
it's gone.. 
and 
 it's lost...
all you have are 
memories 
and
you're walking in your past's shadows
with tears trailing behind you
and
your heart scattered around in pieces...
you don't realize....
 until it's a little too late

Regrets can help you to learn to give more or differently in the next relationship. also most of us have let a good one get by, but I can say they are just a stepping stone to the perfect mate.
