regret

i believe i have but one life to live
i have no wings, no extra's or collectibles
all i can ever have is this moment
which too is now lost...


i have lived then and loved
in times of kings and folk lore
in times of greater sacrifices and dismal approvals
in times where 'the end was always near'
but i've really lived now, in this moment
which too is now lost...


i seek then no greater meaning 
no fuller truth, nor higher knowledge
i am as mortal as this moment
which too is now lost...


of fears there were few
running was now to plain
so i still stand, alone, in this moment
which too is now lost...


the who's and why's were all aplenty
each measured step gauged for reason
where i stand now, is but a moment
