You Only Live Onec. Maybe…

I weep for all the things that use to be.
I weep for all…which will never be.
I weep for those I loved and now, no longer here.
I weep for all I could have done, and didn’t.
I weep for all the wasted moments.
It seems there are more regrets, then not.
Perhaps in another time…in another place,
I shall be better. I shall do better.

I have heard it said, ‘You only live once.
But if you do it right…once is enough’
I hope that’s not true. I’d surely like
to do it again. Next time…I’ll try
to do it right.
