The chance never taken
The kiss never given
The eyes never opened
The door never closed
The hand never held
The pain of never let go
The thought never pushed
The wishbone never pulled

A life full of regrets, so sad.

A collection of thoughts, regrets in a moment. As soon as I saw the picture I felt like I wanted to write about longing. Inaction of some sort.

Thank you. I played on the shadow concept with what I wrote in terms of what I hope comes over as a wistful melancholy.

I wonder how many times in life we end up saying, “If only …..”
A great piece of writing.
