the regret of you still breaks my heart.

i’ll always have regrets 

when it comes to you. 

i was foolish letting time 

just pass me by, 

thinking you’d wait for 

when i was ready. 

i regret not having the 

courage to tell you how i felt,

when it was fucking obvious 

that i loved you.

i wish it was easier for me,

to just admit how i’m feeling 

because there was so many 

times i should have said 

‘i love you’,

but i chose that i 

wasn’t going to be 

that person for you, 

i couldn’t,

i wouldn’t

be the one to ruin us.

and that fear,

that fucking fear

broke my heart

because i lost out on you.

i regret not realising sooner

my feelings all those years ago.

it made sense, i hated when 

you left. 

each time my heart broke. 

it never got easier watching 

you leave. 

it never got easier loving you 

when you loved another. 

my love, it never got easier

living with the regret of you. 

– the regret of you still breaks my heart.
