The Regret of "Goodbye"

I regret
 
Leaving them behind
 
Saying goodbye
 
One last time–
 
I regret
 
The feelings this brings
 
Letting it all go
 
One last time–
 
I regret
 
The weakness that
 
Lies in my soul
 
One last time–
 
I regret
 
Thinking of the pain
 
They will feel
 
When I’m no longer there
 
I regret
 
Not holding on
 
To the thing they loved
 
Oh so much–
 
I regret
 
Ending it all
 
But, given the chance
 
I’d do it all again
 
Because
 
I regret
 
Not just the end
 
But my very beginnings
 
Oh, it’s too much–
 
I regret
 
And therefore I can
 
Leave those regrets behind
 
One last time–
 
I regret
 
Words unsaid
 
Things undone
 
Dreams unaccomplished
 
I regret.
