Regrets

Some years ago I wrote a letter, this special letter I never sent, if I had things would be better, my heart belonged to the recipient , some years ago I sang a song, this song I only sang to myself, now I know this was just wrong, I didn't choose love over wealth, some years ago a poem I wrote, this poem of love and affection, much to shy to show or promote, now live a life without direction, years ago I found love so true, love that would never bloom, my feelings not shown to you, though my heart had lots of room, regrets are all I have now, because my fears would not allow.

Thank you very much Anne-Lise, sometimes our choices seem right at the time then we find they weren't latter, still that's life, thanks again Roy.

This is so sad of the wrong decisions we make but things happen for a reason. May be we are happy but think we would have been happier "If".... Well penned. :)
