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
