Although one may often wish,
To forget their past mistakes...
To leave behind their hardships,
No matter what's at stake -
To ignore the lessons,
That they've learned over the years...
Just to disregard their heartaches,
Their pains, trials, and tears -
I've come to know, that I cannot,
Regret the life that I have led...
I cannot be apologetic,
For the things I've done or said -
I cannot live a life of anger,
For the sufferings I've faced...
Or think that tears I have shed,
Should ever be replaced -
The moments of which I faltered,
Or made the wrong choice...
The times that I needed to stand up,
But I seemed to lose my voice -
Along with the days that I stood strong,
And lived up to my potential...
All joined together to form a road,
That each soul finds essential -
For each step that I took along,
The life that I've been through...
Became just one step closer
...to finding you.
