Regrets by Ananya Chatterjee

 
Regrets
 
 
Only if we went on high—
Never stopping by...
 
Only if we waited for a while, 
To count our blessings, and smile...
 
Only if we stopped forever, 
Before the tide turned over...
 
Our regrets build anew:
Each moment passes through. 
Half-filled cups of brew—
 
Life waits for few.
