If there’s one thing I’ve learned
It’s to never hesitate
When it comes to love
And to always think twice
When it comes to hate
If only I had stopped to think
Before I broke the law hard
I wouldn’t have suffered
So profoundly for years
And if I had taken
A leap of faith
With the one I loved
The love of my life
Could have been mine
For years and years
I’ve been bashed plenty times
And every time
If I had taken the time
To consider my options
I never would have wound up
In hospital nursing my wounds
In Japan
With a very special girl
If I’d only said
All that was on my mind
Heaven could have been mine
Never hesitate with love
Never hate without thinking twice

I’m sure I’m not the only one, who spends the first 6 months of a long jail sentence regretting every little decision that led you to where you are. A thousand things could have gone differently and a completely different path would have been your life. If I had kept my temper in check I would never have wound up in prison and if I had taken the initiative early with any of the great loves of my life they would have saved me from myself. Eventually you start to forgive yourself but I put myself through hell with regrets for a long time…
