That Monster Called Regret

It's those words you thought,
And didn't say.
It's that girl you loved,
And let walk away.

It's that chance you had,
And didn't take,
That haunting voice you hear
Of your mistakes.

It's that girl you hurt,
And just let cry.
It's knowing you never
Should've said goodbye.

It's the feelings you had,
But didn't show.
It's loving a girl and never
Letting her know.

It's that dream you dreamt,
And didn't chase.
It's that problem you had
And didn't face.

It's what you understand now,
That before you couldn't get.
It's that haunting feeling we all have known.
It's that monster called Regret.
