Choices
by Jeffrey ParrenI can still feel the warmth of her skin. The touch of her lips, still presides in my mind. The times and events we shared can never be had by another person that enters into either one of our lives. Yet I have to live with the unforgettable decision. The ultimate choice I made still lingers, sometimes more, sometimes less. My choice may have never come again if it wasnt for the choices she made.
Losing sleep, lacking comfort
I toss and turn in my bed,
Searching for reason given by another.
Regrets reviewed within are constant.
Loneliness sets in and visions of time
Spent plays like a movie in my mind.
Happy times, sad times, gone forever.
Memories good and bad remain solely
As time used in learning; experience.
Feelings unsettled, of things possible
To change, forever etched as is,
Unfortunate as it all really is.
The sound of her voice conjures
Feelings of love and hate, but
I still know I made the right choices.
