The unforgettable heartache of lost love
Only Regret (Authored and Recited by Richard Lee Orey Our days began with stolen glances Touching fingers and smiles Beating hearts and sunset walks That carried us for miles We watched the moon and all the stars Together we dreamed of life In a shiny wondrous world of love That would never know of strife I held you in my arms As you lived within my heart There was no way to separate Or ever grow apart For all the times we shared And together what we felt There was no other way to live With the cards that we were dealt There was no one else for me O, how could I forget? I never saw another Yet now there's only regret Time and life sent us far apart But I dreamed of you each day I planned a life with just us two There could be no other way Still I turned my head and strayed in thought As another came into view And stole your heart away from me Before I even knew There was no one else for me O, how could I forget? I never saw another Yet now there's only regret So if a love should come to you As a strange and lovely fact Don't take your gift for granted Get on your knees and act There was no one else for me O, how could I forget? I never saw another Yet now there's only regret I never saw another Yet now there's only regret Richard Lee Orey Copyright 2011

Regret that is not from the surface, but from deeply felt love, pain...
Yet, at some time one needs to forget and keep living. But before, there is a time of doubt and fear, for sure.

Richard, I love the rhyming meter of your poem as much as the words--they could be songs and your wonderful speaking voice adds so much emotion to them. You are a truly amazing poet--you touch my heart with each poem you write.

All the best!!
