A Love Lost Poem by Stanley Coffin

How do I undo that thing I didn't do,
You waited patiently for me to pursue you and you also waited patiently for my words so they would reassure you,
Unfortunately my silence was very loud and it was all you heard for I spoke not a word but my silence it did not speak what I truly felt,
My actions were supposed to say all I needed to say so I said very little because words at times can become obsolete,
Now I realize those words that I needed to say would have made my life and my dreams complete,
So how do I undo that which I didn't do,
I live with regret that I did not pursue you and if I had my time again the outcome would not be the same,
For I may not still be with you but I'd know that it would not have been from trying and here I sit knowing that I had got it wrong thinking as I did back then and slowly I'm dying,
How do I undo that thing that I didn't do,
The error of my way was not seizing the day and instead I foolishly let you wander away,
If only I could turn back time to those moments when I could have made you mine,
It is not to be and all I have is a painful lesson in self inflicted misery,
My misery is something I did do and it's something that I wish I could undo,
So how do I undo the thing that I didn't do.
