I thought regret
Would never touch me.
I scorned to hear
My elders say:
Don't waste good time,
You'll regret it one day.
I thought:
What regret
Are you talking about?
I am enjoying myself
I'm having fun
I will never regret
These joyous moments.
Years have moved on....
Like the grasshopper
I have let time pass me by,
youth pass me by,
Opportunity pass me by
Until now-
when I have a 'short' future
ahead of me
A 'long' past
behind me
My heart misses a beat
And sinks....
There is regret after all.
