To the mistakes I haven't apologized for
The sinned I committed but
remained unrepentant
And the lessons I learnt too late
in life
To the pirated novels I read over and over again,
Because I can't get enough of the bounty some stories offer
And to the brand new signed
copies I abandon,
Leaving them unread, because they
fail to amuse me
To the lip color which is no
longer in vogue,
But I still have no shame to put
it on every now and then
And the lotion I left upside
down,
Dripping and escaping its cage
To the conversations I scripted
in my head and practiced in front of the mirror,
But never gathered the courage to
say it out loud
To the plans I wish I had
executed
To the ideas I yearn were of
substantial nature
And all the cravings I longed for
to be corporeal
To the time I didn't settle for
And the bridges I burned,
The rage I sparked
To the yesterday,
I spent worrying about the future
And the tomorrow,
I will spend regretting over the
past
To the obliviousness to
opportunities
And denial to shortcomings
To the miles I didn't walk for,
The company I left, the people I
cut off
And to the missed calls,
The emails I deleted without
opening
And texts I don't read, let alone
replying
To the presents I never keep and
forward
And the food I bluntly leave
without devouring,
To the petals I plucked out,
In the name of determining my
lover's affection
And to the anxious mornings,
Where I couldn't bring myself to
get out of the bed
To the times when I felt
homeless,
Under my roof and within four
walls of home
And to the days I wished to run away,
And find the place I belonged to
To the skin, I often claimed to be unfamiliar with
To my blood, that sneaked out so
many times,
And to the storms I raised everyday,
I am sorry for being this clumsy
But I have learned it the hard way
To not settle for anything
Less than love,
Nothing
Less than forever
