The Road Not Taken (2011)

May life be ever best o you,
May God be ever gentle to you,
And then on a quiet day,
May you realize life was better this way!

And a soul mate you did find,
yet I have you in my mind. Hard though it is,
I can't wish him bad, lest life gives you one ugly kiss,
'Coz you are the best memory I never had!

I wish I could turn back time,
and attempt one thing I always wished,
but I know I must walk away
and allow myself to be healed.

Wish I atleast tried letting you know, but
mind and sanity had prevailed unfortunately.
The satisfaction of atleast letting you know,
is now lost forever!

Laughter, fun time and tears,that never were,
is the only proof of the 'the road not taken' .
I don't really want to let you go,
but inside me I know I must.

Can I reroute the course you have taken,
and start over once again?

P.S: If the poem's para sequencing seems to be in the reverse order, it is meant that way, to be inline with the theme of the poem.

P.P.S: Sequencing style is inspired from 'Irreversible'.
