A Regret (written sometime in 1997)

It was very quiet in the room.
And very gloomy too.
I thought it should be peaceful.
But I felt pain and it was sorrowful.

I was sitting at the edge of the bed.
With my heavy head hanging low.
For a very long and quiet hour.
We shared our woes.

You knelt before me.
And held my hands in yours.
I looked into your eyes.
I saw teardrops.

You said everything would be fine
But I could still hear you cry
It wasn’t just as easy as I thought
How naïve of you and I

Now, everything looks like it’s over
I should have known it would not
With that guilt I would bear all my shame
Life would never be the same

Without you
Life would not be as sweet
With that bitter memory
I will forever weep. 

 - Written for what had happened in summer 1997.
