No Regrets

Words mean nothing
especially sentences
if you are not there
to hear them

thoughts are meaningless
especially dreams
if you aren't the one
that's in them

opinions are false
especially truths
if you aren't the one
to believe them

wishes are hopeless
especially miracles
if your presence
couldn't make them come true

your smile would be lost
especially if
i was staring into your eyes
and drowning

art would be worth nothing
especially a Picasso
if you were the one
i thought was priceless

if we do not remember days
only moments
then my thoughts of you
would last a lifetime

time means nothing
when everything around me
stops completely
as you come my way

regret would be
stronger than love
if you couldn't love me
the way i love you
