Regret [CTPWC]

I remember all those late nights
Up with you talking on the telephone
I recall all the visions the sights
I would fantasize about alone

I remember waiting for so long
Just for you to call up and ask me out
It seemed like there was nothing wrong
When I got the call and you would finally let the words out

You told me you think about me all the time
You said you couldn’t live without my love
You said now things would be just fine
Because you’d found your angel from above
You sang me songs that made my heart flutter
And made my soul melt like butter
You said there’d never be another
Who could make your world brighter
You were a lover and a fighter

So strong was the desire to be with you
That my fears crept in and swept me away
Knowing that it was too good to be true
I had to keep it at bay I had to walk away

Believing what people said
That I was the flavor of the week
Another notch in the post of your bed
They told me I was too weak

They told me that my heart would be flayed
And I would lose my heart most definitely
To the games that you played
But my heart was betrayed
And I lost what could’ve been the best part of me

But thinking back now my biggest regret
Was walking out on you
Because of what the others said
So today I am without you

And you’re always in my head
You’re in my dreams and thoughts constantly
To me it’s nearing insanity
I long to hold you close to me
But now you’re with somebody
I never knew what regret could do to me



I *think* this will be my final submission for this contest

A mature perspective that tells me you are are one who has truly been there, like some of us have.

Thank you. Nicely done.
