The only regret really

You never witnessed

The transformation

The barefoot wilderness

I have arrived at was

Some journey I swear

The magnificence of a mind freed

Look

I am priceless

Oh how often have I

Wished you'd caught a glimpse

Here and there (you know)

Peeking in seeing saying

She's done it... turned out fine

Despite

The young

Impetuous

Tearaway infatuated thing

Hung up on being with

I was presenting once

You started it

The journey bringing me

To this miraculous

Fantastical existence

If not for you and the words

Torn from yourself

From the tearing of me- if not

Sometimes I catch myself

Looking over my shoulder

Feeling you there

How else

If not imagining you seeing
