What might have been
opens up
before us.
What we never did
becomes part of our
recollection.
Forget and forgive
ourselves
for the chance not taken.
The end not explored,
the soul of remorse,
the ending forsaken.
What is it we’ve done
with our moments
that keep us so enthralled?
Casting our shadows
down a long and empty hall.
Afraid to take a step,
now we regret nothing at all
that we did,
just what we didn’t do.
Be brave.
Stay curious.
The way
is not always obvious.
Our fate
is sometimes drawing us
and we have to take a step
to know
which way
to go.
Death is certain.
I know
that I will miss you.
There’s no point
in denying
love,
or trying
to know what it is
to live
the life we want.
Don’t regret a thing,
just open up,
and step
out into
life
and it will catch you.
Stay alive.
Stay curious.
