Regret

I wish we hadn't met,
where we both can wear our smiles,
fake or not, we'd be wearing them,
and not hiding behind glass.

I hoped I could pass you by,
and not hold your hand for the time I did,
because then, I'd still be smiling,
and we wouldn't have to try.

It keeps me awake at night,
I just want to sleep, please, let me sleep,
and stay out of my dreams for a night.

I clutch my heart tight, then realize it isn't there,
because it's among the things you took,
I still find myself hooked, on your line of love,
and my scissors are on the other side of the glass.

I live a little fast paced, and you're last in this race,
I waited for you to be the one, and you never made it,
I wish we hadn't met, so we can both smile,
this isn't just for me.
