Walk on

Life is too short
For what-ifs,
For words left unsaid,
Paths not taken,
And missed chances.

Gather up your tears,
And bury your regrets.
Say your goodbyes,
And keep the bittersweet memories.
Walk on,
Away from the season of wintry loss,
Into the new year.
But never forget
All that you’ve loved.

Live more boldly,
Laugh more loudly,
And love more freely.
Only then
Will the ghosts of regrets fade.
