“I wish I had never let go,”

She whispers to the night,

As memories rise like restless waves

On shores she cannot fight.

She let him slip between her hands,

Too scared to let him stay,

Afraid that love would drown her whole,

So she pushed it all away.

The weight of silence grew so loud,

And fear became her friend,

But in the dark, she couldn’t see

What waited at the end.

His eyes, once full of endless hope,

Now linger in her mind,

A gaze that asked her to be brave,

A love she left behind.

She walks along familiar roads,

Where once they used to roam,

But all she feels is emptiness—

Her heart no longer home.

If only she had held on tight,

To all she couldn’t show,

Perhaps her heart would not be here,

Wishing she hadn’t let go.
