Regrets

While you're busy being brave

are you crying deep inside

for a love you loved but lost

before it spread its wings to fly.

While you're busy hiding pain

struggling hard to live your life

covering up the rips and tears

of love that cut you like a knife

Hoping that your wounds will mend.

Your heart, so badly torn, will heal

suffering heartaches deep within

wishing that you didn't feel.

As you go about your day

building walls around your heart

hoping tears you cry within

soon will find a way to part.

As you think of later years

and some far off distant day

will you cry more wasted tears

for the love that got away?
