Unconditional Regret

At the crossroads of past dreams and future sights,
I stand, anchored to the place our souls did bind.
Your laughter's echo, your touch so light,
Never imagined living without the smile you'd always find.

The city moves, indifferent to my lone stance,
Yet in its bustling rhythm, a void expands.
It’s not for food or wealth that I cast this glance,
But yearning for the intertwining of our hands.

Dawn breaks to dusk, in shadows I confide,
At our sacred corner, memories and hopes collide.
This was our stage, love's tale so sincere,
But I confess, I took for granted you'd always be near.

How could I not see the treasure by my side?
Your love, unconditional, with nowhere to hide.
As every heartbeat counts the moments gone by,
I hope for a chance to apologize, to rectify.

Wishing on every star, every fleeting night,
That the winds of fate might shift just right.
To bring you back, for our hearts to reunite,
And rekindle the flame that once burned so bright.
