No Regrets
I want to live with no regrets
not lamenting what I didn't do
because of pride or timidity
When convinced of something
that leads to bliss
not mired in despair
for what I lacked in courage to do
Yes I know that from the first time
I offered my lips
you have avoided my advances
doesn't soothe my wanting you
Knowing that despite our distinct views
about election year 2016
we could be something special
Comfort when the world around collapses
reassurance in those moments of doubt
eyes only for you
Just tell me I am mistaken
that where I want to go
is a place you will never be
For I am fairly certain that the one guy
with the opportunity to see you smile everyday
isn't coming close to providing that reality
His name isn't echoing off the walls
as you and he touch
he isn't giving himself emotionally and physically
his presence isn't making joyous a brand new day
I feel electricity whenever we touch
a hug, a hand, a leg brushing next to mine at a concert
moments I feel like I am going crazy
knowing that you can quench my thirst
Beyond the physical realm
we can endure
facing obstacles and problems united
I will live with no regrets
not disliking myself for not being clear
That when you are aroused
when loneliness is eminent
when natural desires run wild
you can find solace and comfort here
not lamenting what I didn't do
because of pride or timidity
When convinced of something
that leads to bliss
not mired in despair
for what I lacked in courage to do
Yes I know that from the first time
I offered my lips
you have avoided my advances
doesn't soothe my wanting you
Knowing that despite our distinct views
about election year 2016
we could be something special
Comfort when the world around collapses
reassurance in those moments of doubt
eyes only for you
Just tell me I am mistaken
that where I want to go
is a place you will never be
For I am fairly certain that the one guy
with the opportunity to see you smile everyday
isn't coming close to providing that reality
His name isn't echoing off the walls

he isn't giving himself emotionally and physically
his presence isn't making joyous a brand new day
I feel electricity whenever we touch

Beyond the physical realm

I will live with no regrets

No regrets for certain
Nothing ventured. Nothing gained.
I often wonder; do people with the fewest regrets at life's end face, the end more bravely?

Possibly if we have a sense of introspection met with empathy. I don't think action just for action's sake gets us far. Feeling a bit of regret is human. I know for example that my dad was trying to juggle working full time, courting mom, and law school all at once. Didn't really have any harboring regret there, just replaced the law school with taking care of two boys and selling real estate.
