Regret


From that first kiss

Grew the love that brought me bliss

To the world it opened my heart

But left me blind from the very start

In my eyes, I saw only she

In my mind it was meant to be

I forgot the pains of life

Until reality cut through me like a knife

I let slip the one I love

I gave up on my beautiful Dove

I think of her with each day past

Regretting that which did not last

Oh, if time I could unwind

So once again that love I'd find

I would cherish her with all my heart

And never again our souls would part.
