No Deep Regrets

i wish I could hold onto something
yet everything I get
seems to slip through my fingers
no deep regrets…
only memories that linger

No heart felt pleas…
to get me back to my teens
no, take me away from this!
i can get all my pleasure
even if it is not bliss

i wish I could hold onto something
something good and special
yet they all seem to waste away
or is that, fall away?
i forget to be honest
but I do not forget the day
that I let it all go

no deep regrets…
and no scars, that seem to show
i wish I could hold onto something
something that I seem to know
