Postal Stamps

The regrets for embarrassing things you did will fade with time. Regrets over things you DIDN'T do are different because no matter how long you stare at the past, no matter how many times you call "what if", what if will never come to greet you again.

To all the what ifs I never met.

To all the should haves that were neglected and never go their awards.

To do justice to the scapegoats and underdogs before me that were put down against their will, that were put to sleep quietly.

For all those whose spirits were captured,

leaving them feeling lost and empty.

For the lost causes; I will find you.

I will search the world where lost things go, for it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.

I will draw a map and leave a trail of pieces of a broken heart like breadcrumbs so you can retrace my footsteps.

Together with our polar differences

and disagreements we will build a compass rose

to blossom from fertile imaginations,

 so we can migrate to a better place, but not forsake the place we once called home.
