Regrets

 Regrets

We spend our life

Not saying

What we should really say

To tell the ones we care for

How they make us feel

Its only when there light has gone

We stand over a grave

Saying what should have been said

When our arm were holding them

Now that there time has past

There’s a picture on the wall

Memories are all we have

And regrets for words not spoken

Regrets are a natural part of life. It is common for many of us to look back and wish we had done things differently. One of the most common regrets people have is not speaking up when they had the chance. We often hold back from saying what we really feel, either because we are afraid of how the other person might react, or because we simply don't know how to express ourselves.

It's important to remember that we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it. The next time you have something important to say, don't hold back. Speak your truth with kindness and compassion, and let the people in your life know how much they mean to you. Whether it's telling a loved one how much you appreciate them, or apologizing for something you did wrong, it's never too late to express yourself.

At the end of the day, what matters most is that we live our lives with intention and purpose, and that we don't let fear or hesitation hold us back. So take a chance, be brave, and speak your truth. You never know how much of a difference it might make in someone's life, and you'll never have to live with the regret of words left unspoken.
