Regrets

I tried to tell you
I tried not to tell you
I tried to do this
I tried not to do that
I regretted all those things
Whenever I said something
Or didn’t say anything
Whenever I did something
Or didn’t do anything at all
I wonder about all the what-if’s
What if I did this?
What if I didn’t do that?
What if I said this?
What if I didn’t say this?
Would it have had made a difference
So many regrets
But I just have to move on
If I live in the past
Then how can I live in the present?
I would miss out on
The outcome of my choices
Regrets or no regrets
I have to live on
And dwell in the past
