Very well done. Lives of quite desperations - how sad so many are not willing to be in the now. I'm now on my second divorce. My first she lived in the past. This one lives in the future always looking for the What If. Neither was wiling to accept me and wanting to live in the present. So we move on. No what ifs - only - there is.
Good capture of the emotion, nice to see she resolves the issue.
Thanks

Such a saddness here, thank you for sharing. But if you have no dreams, does that make you appreciate more what is reality? I don't know. Good luck in the contest, a fine entry.

If only... We have all uttered those words in our life. Some of us more than others. This was a well written poem that really speaks on this subject well. It was written in a very good format and has good lines of thoughts to think on. I enjoyed reading and writing this excellent piece of poetic art... John

My my! This is an absolutely beautiful, deeply heartfelt, emotional poem. I quite loved it. I so totally understand the lengthy free verse style lines. And, I appreciate them. Just had a hard time reading them LOL! Very detailed descriptive scenes to which I could totally relate. Best of luck in the contest. Sue

Thank you very much. Did you read them when the lines were blue or as they are now?
-
As they are now. I would just make the font larger, but you might not have room with the length of your lines to do that.
Comment from Chocolate Chip
Wow, what powerful scenes you evoke in this piece! As I read each stanza, the emotions kept getting stronger. Thank you for writing something we all can relate to. Second-guessing ourselves only makes what we didn't do HARDER to take. Overall, the poem presented to us by your hand is something we need to practice which I believed you pointed out. Live the life in front of us without looking back in longing lust because that day is gone & tomorrow may not be promised.
