A Fresh Page

I wish I’d said goodbye sooner
At least that way, it would have been more meaningful
I wish I had tried a little more
At least that way, it would have been full of meaning
I wish I had spoken much louder
And said all the things I deeply felt
At least that way, I would be heard regardless of it being wrong or right
I wish I had not taken to heart the harsh words or actions of others
Because those things were done to me mostly out of spite,
People projecting on me their true feelings about themselves
Things we sometimes shared in common
I wish I had used my hands more than I did my mouth in moments where actions spoke louder
And with the years that pass with
Old friends, new friends and family in between
The clock ticks to remind us of time’s end
The days turn to night to start all over again
With new opportunities that are awaiting to be taken advantage of
But one thing remains
The memories of each day
The things we did and didn’t do
The words we still wish to say and can be said today
Because with a new sun comes the opportunity to start again
And what I will say will mean more than what I wish I had said
It was silly anyway, it’s a new day
So we start again
or just start
