Might Have Beens

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

I tread 
through memories 
of yesterday 

savoring the sweet 
skirting the bitter

But tomorrows 
are treacherous territory

I tiptoe gently 
so not to wake 
the "What Ifs" and 
the "Might Have Beens"

    2. I’m in that boat too! It’s okay as long as you can do it without regret and more in the wondering mode so you are good with putting that memory back in your memories archive. I think these are more proof that the Universe had something better for us. 😊😁✨👍
