Regret

I fear I shall never see him again

his mumbled words brought me back

from a place where I only refrained

and sheltered myself from any attack

His kind eyes saw me and did not wander

time stood still for us that moment

but I stopped to slowly ponder

if this unusual man the fates had sent

was actually looking and talking to me

after years of loneliness he comes along

but my simple life is at it's best misery

his presence, his words were sweet song

I wanted so badly to ask his name

but I could not muster the courage

I have no one else but myself to blame

being trapped in this wandering cage

I wanted to scream out for him to stay

but all I said was "see you later"

I smiled thinking I'd see him another day

but a week passed and my longing is greater

I just want to look into his eyes once more

I'll never feel this way again about anyone

and I definitely never felt this way before.

I'll remember those minutes now forever gone.
