today...

looking back-
over my shoulder

i can see us smiling
i can see all the lonliness
i've ever felt

i can feel all the sadness you could
ever hold-

wondering where time has taken us-

nostalgia sweeps over me as i peer
into our pasts-

i am sad for all the words i never
said- for all the feelings..
emotions i was too naive to portray to you-

but i have no regret --
for every wrong there was a right-
and all those mistakes have brought
me to this self i am today
