In the shadows of my days gone by
Regret's heavy burden makes me sigh
Too late
I see her kindness shine
A gem in her heart
Pure and fine
Her love
A treasure I failed to grasp
In ignorance
Our bond did clasp
Now I stand in remorseful gloom
Wishing I'd embraced her warmth's bloom
Her care
A river that never ceased
A calming balm
A love released
But time slipped by
Like grains of sand
And slipped through fingers
Like moments grand
Oh, to turn back and mend my ways
To bask in love's eternal rays
Regret now fills my silent cries
A lesson learned
A promise to shield from every storm

To Speak of Secret Futures
Our coffees cool between us on the breakfast counter. You stare at the curls of steam so you don't have to look at me. That's always been your tell. Usually your gaze speaks volumes, so when you refuse to meet my eye, that means you have a secret you don't want to say.
