Regrets

Regrets work their way through my heart Calling out to me to give myself a new start Regrets from the past A past that could never last Regrets which bid me to hide my true being! Yet, don't we all regret something Be it love or even a matter of great becoming Somehow, it is in our nature to regret For what is gone, we shall never ever get But is it enough a reason for me to ruin my being? A man he was, He waged with me, many a wars He left on me, many a scars Now I only see him only from afars And I realize that life and love can be lusty liars Though regrets do burn in me I relish my other harmony Other than seeking to find the Heavens Other than wanting to be arisen I have, for myself, no other aim! Shall I someday have the visit of an everlasting romance I shall share with it, a dazzling dance Life is made of the past, of youth and of its mistakes It is certainly not reason enough to put our tomorrow at stake Regrets I hold of yesterday, made me the person I am today!

Anoucheka, this is very deep... I know we learn from the past. I try not to regret much. I have a weird way of thinking. I like the Heaven Aim, you mentioned... Enjoyed this,..Linda
