No regrets
(To an old friend of mine)
As years pass I stop regretting
And I think positive instead.
No, it's not that I am forgetting,
It is because I look ahead.
I cherish memories of failures
For priceless lessons that I've learnt…
So now I can avoid behaviors
That would have caused me to be burnt.
I thank the people that have hurt me,
Although I might've cursed at first…
Those were the warnings to alert me
How people are at their worst.
I don't regret of any moment…
Over the years I can see-
Without them I'd be a woman…
Some other woman, but not me.
She could be lighter, better person
Living the life so carefree,
She could be anything, but one thing...
No matter what...
...she'd not be me…
