Dear Regret.

Dear Regret,

 

I'm afraid this letter,

is more or less a "Dear John."

I'm sick of hanging around,

crying buckets over what is gone.

 

I know you would like me,

to spend hours looking back,

at the things that could have been,

and bemoan the things I lack.

 

I know you're keen to review,

each and every mistake I made,

me I'd rather walk away from it,

and just call a ***** a *****

 

I'd rather take on my tomorrows,

not bother to regret my past,

walk into sunshine in the future,

and leave you behind, at last.
