Beautiful Regret

The imperfect beauty...flawed mistakes...sad smiles and tears through laughter. All she ever wanted was a chance to feel happy but instead the only chance she got was her way to the grave. She is now nothing but a lonely grave and unspoken regrets to the ones she has left behind. She told me "don't call me an angel. I just want to be human."
"Why?" i asked.
She held my hand and with tears she accompanied, "angels don't stay here...angels are only here for a moment."
I used to think of her and smile but now i think of her and cry. Why did i take my past out on her. If only i told her i miss her, if only i stopped assuming that she knew...i wouldn't be sitting next to a tombstone engraved with her name.
She was just a girl yearning for love but now she is just my beautiful regret.
From the sharp edged life now i know time is never unfair to us...we are unfair to time when we don't cherish the present moments it has offered. Love with no fear and you will live with no regrets...don't assume they know...don't assume they know. For life has a cruel way of teaching lessons.

Life indeed has a cruel way of teaching lessons, as made well evident by your heartfelt piece. I loved the wisdom and thought processes here, and the story of a flawed angel, a love that turned tragic, and I'm still quite sorrowed by that sad atmosphere. And the honesty behind each word: "we are unfair to time when we don't cherish the present moments it has offered", it just teaches a very valuable lesson to cherish each moment, because once a second passes by, it doesn't return. Unless we have some super-awesome time machine (which sadly, is yet to be invented). Nevertheless, great piece, great wisdom.

"Time is never unfair to us...we are unfair to time" - Yes, I'm realizing this more and more as I draw on. I like the implied story here. You say a lot without saying it all. Well done.

Well written the hard lessons of life.

Well written piece of prose, romantic and well paced, the kind of writing that is very popular.

Beautifully written. I could all too easily feel the pain in my chest. Excellent work.

This is so beautifully written. Throughout the whole story i could feel the pain here, the regrets, the hopes. I can't suggest any way to improve on this. Its honestly perfect to my mind. A stunning portrayal of a lifelong regret.
