Regret

I feel like I lost all the time

I once thought I had

Looking at you

Even though you look the same

The gray of your hair

And the change of mine

Tells me time has truly passed

There hasn’t been a time

Where I didn’t know you

But now it feels

As if

I’m talking to a stranger

Who knows my name

Where I grew up

And every little detail

Every scratch and scar of the life

That you once saved

And I’m filled with regret

The regret of my anger

And resentment

That you would chose yourself

Over everyone else

As if you weren’t human

As if you didn’t make mistakes

And as if it was your fault

And I look back

And I regret the time

I took for granted

Because right now

In this moment

Sitting on this bench

As the night is still

Feeling the same as I did

So long ago

I truly hope

This will stay the same for a long time
