Love Poem
Through my old dim eyes I see you, I see your heart, I feel you, I taste you, But I can’t touch or hold you..... As the curtains draw to a close at 80 You must know I am living for you I am strong because of you I inspire and impress because of you I love you with all my heart Forgive me that I was a boy Not old enough to stand or fight I lost it all because I was a boy Before the world met you, I knew you I didn’t know where you were going, but I knew you were special Before your heart was out in the open, I held it I nurtured and protected it. You trusted me with everything You could do anything only because I said so Looking back, I should have set the first fire on your tender body I should have been there through your pains I should have grown old with you Walking through the streets of China and dreaming of all the places we could have been to, I am sorry for not being the one Through it all, you must know I love you now and forever.......

Your poem shows much regret, but it looks like you are making up for it by the poem, itself.

The ubiquitous "they" say that our biggest regret is in the things we did not do, but wanted to do. You have told us how it feels.

This is beautiful. I can feel the pain. The heartache.
