Through all the pains I have felt
I have been able to hold to that
The pain shapes me
The joy shapes me
Into what I am today
I have stayed firm in that
Every decision has helped me
Every one until I decided to leave you
I should have talked more to you
I regret that
I feel emptiness now
I realize the mistake I made
The experiences and joys I missed
I did not talk, nor did I see all sides
I should have never left
I think about you now and smile.
I think of how it was
And then I start to cry
Because I miss how it was
I should have never left
I regret that decision
