Take Nothing For Granted

I deferred the words " I love you" Until the morrows light. Words, that from my heart, I felt impressed upon to say. For sure, "I love you", Would have best been said that night. Still I reserved ownership, For perhaps some abstinent day. Instead, from my vast reserve, Grating words were launched to flight. Words that once I'd spent, Could never be recanted. I had failed miserably, At living life in the moment. So, doting on another days sight, I had taken our time for granted. The next day's sun, I found, Rose not for both alike. Albiet the sky was blue and bright, My day was overcast. For from my life, I allowed to slip, a love untold, Now I'm forever yoked with regrets might, Hard and fast. Regret is felt always when it is too late.
