I don’t have time for regrets
To be upset
About what
Coulda
Woulda
Shoulda
Been
If you’d have let me in
Beside you
Instead of just underneath you
Taking it to a different place
Versus the realm of disgrace
Or misplaced hate
I don’t have time for regrets
to set
myself up for
second guessing
cause doing so
makes me miss the blessings
waiting in front of my face
to be embraced
cause the past can’t be changed
or rearranged
not currency that can be exchanged
it is what it is
and if we look closely
what it should be
cause everything happens for a reason
and instead of my lifetime
you were just a season
a mixture of the newness of spring
with a tinge of
the warmth of summer
that eventually would have dragged me asunder
if I didn’t let it be
cause in actuality
our eulogy
has already been spoken
the bond long broken
us just a token
to pull out from time to time
as a souvenir of a brief moment in
the stratosphere
before we came back to earth
to face reality
and our individual dreams
I don’t have time for misgivings
Because I don’t regret a thing
