He didn't, and that was that.

There's no going back and erasing the past.

Life's too short not to forgive and forget.

Sometimes, there's just no time to justify where everything went wrong.

Time is a battle, a war you won't win, but you gotta push along.

Keep moving forward, you can't change the past or make it come back.

He didn't, she didn't, they didn't. It's time to accept and be okay with that.
The daily for December 6th, by Sean Critchfield titled "Poem By Chance" (check it out, it's amazing), was an exercise using the seventh book on the shelf, the seventh line on the seventh page as the first line, and only seven lines. I hope I did it right.

A beacon of hope, you came to me
A lighthouse found before I drowned at sea
All along I was searching for some meaning
Praying for more than the life I'd been leading

North, East
West and South
Lost in many ways
Possible
Tracks erased
I’m following a small star
Trying to find
Where you are

The stars make a play of calling out your name
I use airplanes for wishes and your voice to stay sane
Dream catchers cast shadows along every wall
I try hard to stand upright yet I usually fall

Every day that passes by
It kinda ***** knowing
Time still lies
60 minutes that runs so fast
While savoring
Moments that don’t really last

Dancing beneath a matching sunrise
Kindred souls and kaleidoscope eyes
Gliding like feathers in a world of anchors
Crafted this safe haven in a life of danger

Time, sweet time
Not really caring
Just handing out limes
I’m just a shadow
Blown around by the wind
Till the signs show up
And now we’re intertwined

Another coffee so late as wait 'til tomorrow
Meeting again like the sky greets the sparrow
First time I saw you, I knew I'd met my truth
The stars aligned on time, and then I saw you

Roses wilt, violets die;
Sadness in poetry, beauty in life.

without any sleep
what is real becomes the dream
you cannot wake from
