My Regrets Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

My regret
is that I will never feel the touch
Your touch
for which I longed and once imagined
so much

My regret
is that I will never feel
your kiss
which I imagined to be so warm and tender
for this I am remiss

My regret
is that I will never know each nuance
of your face
But still the warm sad throught of it
I can never quite erase

My regret
is that you'll never know how much
I loved you
or how much I really cared
wished it was truly shared

My regret
is that we both missed that moment in the sun
with you
when we two could have both been like one
you were my sun

My regret
is that this life does not allow all of love to shine through
not to you
that all the lonely tears I've cried in vain
don't ever wash away the pain

My regret
is that if I give my love to her and no matter if it feels so true
but she's not you
that somewere there is me and somewhere there is you
An my heart did not shine all the way through

My regret
is that you may never know how much I cared
For you
and may live and die and never realize
that I still always do

The women whom I loved, who slipped from view
