No regrets. Just lessons learned.

by Behind Blue Eyes   Nov 5, 2007


As I woke up that morning
I didn't want to face the truth
That I had lost the innocence
That surrounded me in my youth.
I cannot change what happened.
I cannot take it back.
And though I know it happened
The memory, I lack.
For nothing could be worse
Than that one drunken night
When I gave away what made me pure
Without putting up a fight.

If drunken words are sober thoughts
Then what are drunken actions?
Are they sober impulses acted upon?
With a bit more physical interaction?

This is so hard to comprehend;
Too much that I am swallowin'.
But I have to say I regret nothing.
Regrets are just meant to wallow in.
Instead I'll take this as a life lesson;
An experience to learn from.
I will not let this effect me,
Or the person I have become.
It's time that I move on, now
And leave this in the past.
I'll try to go on and live my life,
Though knowing what happened will always last.
