Regret

[toby]

Even though I'm pretty sure you know who it is, I'm posting this here anyways. A poem is a poem is a poem, eh? I wrote this in less than one minute, in the DA textbox. It was 1:30AM. Thoughts?

----

Late at night

I lay and think

I reminisce
about the nostaligic days of old

Who am I kidding,
that was just a few years ago

But it seems like

Forever

I miss it
Your face

Your hair
Your laugh

You know who you are
And probably won't read this

I've moved on
Haven't I?

Why do you come back
Late at night
As I lie here

You haunt me
And always shall

What I did can never be undone
Thankfully

Right?

I'll never replace you
But someday someone else will take your place

And life will once again be right
The Yin will have Yang, and balance will take hold

Balance is good
Isn't it?

So here I find myself

Longing to jump forward
So I can find the other you

Wishing to leap back
So I can find you again

But all I can do is wait.

And regret.

Egad! I am in love with this poem! I have so many favorite lines, such as "I'll never replace you But someday someone else will take your place" because it almost contradicts itself, yet makes so much sense. I could definitely relate to the entire poem! Good job!
