Regret

It's that time of the year again, when we come so close to losing someone that we realize what their proximity meant to us. Everybody is sniffing loudly, scrunching up their small puffy eyes, closing them every now and then and wondering.. what if. 'What if I had told her how much she meant to me' 'What if I just went to him when he asked me for something' 'What if I held her one last time before she went away forever' 'What if I hadn't said that....would she be here now?' No she wouldn't. Nothing we do and think is going to bring back anything about this person. We know this, yet...
