My First Choice, My Only Regr

My First Choice, My Only Regret I should have told you when the stars were bright, when your name felt like poetry on my tongue. But I let silence steal my words, and now I fear I’ve lost the song. You were never just a passing thought, never a fleeting, fading dream. You were the reason my heart beat faster, the reason my world held its gleam. I hid behind uncertain skies, afraid to show you all of me. But the truth is, you were always first— my heart knew it, though my lips stayed weak. If I could turn back time, just one embrace, I’d whisper what I should have then: That you are my choice, my light, my reason— and I’d never let you doubt again.
