Regret Poem by Kevin Carney

Where do we go from here?
We have played and danced around…
Going ever so slowly.
Not sure where we are.
Where to take that next step.

Afraid to go forward.
Looking to the future….
Not comfortable in what we see.
Time together, moving together.
Can we make it together?

What to do, to take the next step together.
Friends for so long….
Neither able to commit…
I constantly ached for you.
Wanting so much to cross that line…

Fear to hold, if I take that step.
Will it be all for naught.
So bad I had it, I almost had your love….
Letting it slip all by its own.
You’re now in love with someone else.

I should have gone forward…
I know I really blew all chances….
Will your love hold together on its own?
Regret, I have for not being so bold.
You… slipping away from me.
