Looking Back in Regret
it all seems so easy now
than pain, that has gone away
to join yesterday
so i guess if you are not changing
then you are not living
if you happy as you are
or who you are with, then that is okay
but there must be things you want
things you want to do
but i guess it does not really matter
it is up to you
just as long, as you do not get old
and look back in regret
i have so many memories
so many of which i will never forget
for as long as i live
and maybe, afterwards,
it will all come through in the end
i have won the battle within myself
and i want to tell everyone,
i have won
James Garratt – Saturday 22nd October 1994
