Regret

Just by being friends is enough

That’s what I thought

Before he held your hands

On that Friday after class

I wonder what this feeling is

If it’s jealousy—I don’t know

If it’s sadness—it’s mortifying

But one thing I know is that

You’re not here by my side anymore

And it unfolds the loneliness in my heart

Hey, please stop

These feelings I cannot contain

The tears that keep on flowing

Why did I realize it too late

And now,

There’s nothing more I can do

Under the orange sunset sky

I remember your many faces

You, smiling by my side

Getting angry, crying in a fit

Deliberately making a funny face

Maybe I wouldn't see them anymore

I wonder what this feeling is

If it’s jealousy—I don’t know

If it’s sadness—it’s mortifying

But one thing I know is that

You’re not here by my side anymore

And it unfolds the loneliness in my heart

The sunset fades into the night sky

They blur and sparkle like a thousand rain drops

As I write these words in a single verse

Into a melody of a sad love song

And then someday, if I find my courage

I’ll let this song reach you

Let the wind carry this trembling voice

And the feelings I have kept for you
