We all have regrets for words unsaid, responses to warmth not given. You have captured this sense beautifully in a very fine poem. Tom Billsborough
Thank you so much Tom. Words are such simple yet powerful tools that we each have access to, and can repair or break spirits and hearts so easily. Hopefully life will teach us how to be skilled workmen and use them well.Much appreciate you reading and commenting xx
Regret overwhelmed him as he knew he should have returned her smile, joined her in the joy of love expressed, but that was then.... and too late now. he should have expressed his love.. now standing with the urn in the hand., ., ., he breakes into tears......... very emotional poem. love. regret..... tony
Thank you so much for your lovely comments..Sometimes we forget that an outward show of our emotions is needed and valued..especially when it is to let our loved ones know how dear and precious they are to us..we should never be afraid to show that we care..xx

You've done a superb job capturing the emotions of regret! As I read the line " He hoped that love would be recognised without great displays of emotion" , I think about how we show love in different ways but not always ways that others want to receive it. A very relatable poem. 10
Showing love should be so easy and yet so many of us find it difficult or even unecessary...I hope that maybe anyone reading this might remember how important it is to show those we love that we DO love them..before it's too late. I am so pleased they you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to comment so generously. Lodigiana xx
