Memories with Regret

I sit on a chair
Looking at the clock
Reeling back in the past
Overwhelmed in shock


At how much have I grown 
Since I last took my milk bottle
At how much have I learned
Since I first knew what's an apple

Is this what it feels like
To have noticed the time
A merriful nostalgia
when you recall a few silly crimes

I am only a teenager

Why do I suddenly feel like a senior
Not that there's anything wrong
Just that it feels so peculiar

Then I remember 
all the times that I have missed
Regrets started forming
Now I am suddenly depressed

I should have done this
I shouldn't have done that
I started to drown in humiliation
As I remembered all my chitchat

Snap out of it I say
But my mind won't listen to me today 
It continued thinking about all the "What ifs"
All that could have come out if I had the initiative

How could the old keep up with this?
Now I salute them with kisses
I don't ever think it will be that easy to accept
The regrets that would have crept

I guess I am lucky 
For being still young

I can still change
The path that I have strung

Hopefully I will be able to create
more happy memories than regrets
And someday be able to accept
Whatever remorse recollect
