More reasons to be sorry than reasons to smile
More letters of regret and words of apology than the existence of a smile
More worrying about what if than relishing in memories we made today
More over-thinking of how tomorrow will become yesterday
Less laughter more tears
Less smiling more years added to the lines in our faces
Too much loathing of one another and ourselves
Not enough Thank You
Too little I love you
No more you are my best friend
The world is ours to do with what we must
Can we forgive and regain trust?
Must we move on can’t we just be those two laughing young ones shaded by glee
More reason to forgive
More options as we grow
Things get better
Life gets harder
Love ends and new love begins
Find a safe haven for your heart and find a reason to live
