How I Say :: Elegiac Stanza

  
Regret, how I lost you forever, though
I truly loved; you know what twinge me most
memories of few moments with you, know
it won't make sense now, but I stay engrossed.

Think, your leaving made me worthless, although
our heart to heart talk could change things almost
you denied; how I allowed it to go
when I wished from my heart to hold you close?

Thoughts of losing kills me inside, I know
you won't comeback, still you stay uppermost;
Unintended though can't stop, tears just flow;
You may wish but how I say 'Adios'.
