Now I Have Regrets Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

NOW I HAVE REGRETS


I had the golden chance to ask you to dance
While music was playing for a slow dancing
I saw you standing all alone willingly waiting
At the concession stand listening to the band

Just for a while I looked away from your smile
Hoping you will still be pondering waiting for me
Only to see you going with someone else laughing
Getting ready to bop bebop bop bebop bop and bebop

Looking at you get down in your evening red gown
Feeling I was jealous with your partner's pious
Dreaming I could have been the one making him green
Now I have regrets for not making you my life's vignette

As the wee hours came dancing I saw you leaving
Arm in arm with your new beau like a swan gliding
Not even once looking back at me standing all alone
As my heart was breaking in the light of break of dawn

Looking at you get down, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
