​LOVE’S REGRET
By, Myra Wexler Darwish
 
I have looked for her since,
In places near and far
Having found her once in my younger years…
Foolishly choosing to let her go
Amid my youth and foolish fears.
 
Like a solitary sentinel,
I’ve lived a quiet life
Trusting that was how to be…
While grieving alone,
So that others might not see.
 
With the courage of a soldier
In a distant foreign land,
I’ve lived each day in sad regret…
Denying the wisdom of my inner-voice,
Unheard on the first day that we met.
 
Oh, if fate guides her to me - one sweet time again,
I’d whisper to her gently, so her soul would surely hear
  This time we will never part…
For you will be loved every night and day, 
By my grateful and jubilant heart.
