The road i never took

reminiscing can be dangerous.

Today; 

I looked behind myself.

The road i have been walking on.

I was told not to look back, 

it was said that regret would find you if you did. 

But i wasn't scared, I just wanted to see the road i didn't take. 

Then i saw it, 

Not the road that i didn't take, 

but the road he took. 

Because the road i didn't take was empty.

Where we both should have been, 

And i did not feel regret 

or jealousy.

Just a twist and turn in my stomach. 

I deserved that. 

I paused in my place.

In the road i took

looked around and wondered 

what lies in front of me.

wishing,

not wishing but reminiscing

about the times where our road did not split in 2 

and made us choose.

And i wondered how we got to not choosing the same road. 

Or maybe it did not make us choose, 

but we had forced the road to split 

and that's when it moved. 

Farther and farther away from each other

but i could still see.

his road, 

and he could still see as well, 

mine. 

So i continue on my road,

waiting for someone to walk with me 

and to never look for 

the road i never took.

Ah I think this is beautiful. Loved the metaphor you used to describe the paths of our lives and loves and I always loved the vivid imagery. And i like that this does not have a sad tone to it but a tone of a person at peace with their decisions!
Good work.

I loved it, your getting better and better its like watching a flower blossum. xD you always say things that I understand and sometimes I get confused but I totally dig and get your poems no matter how long they are I still read them. xD I love the decisions in it. Right now I am faced with a decision so this has helped me.
