Regret.

Errors of commission are easier to remedy than errors of omission...

Basically what I'm trying to say is...

When we do, or say something we regret, often we can apologize, or try again, in a different way.

With things left undone we are left with only the mistake and the missed opportunity, frequently there is no way to go back and try again.

Many adults speak about regret much more than "youthful mistakes." This is why most older people encourage youth to live life to the fullest.

-I have left undone the things I should have done,
-And there is no good in me.

Apology.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't do it.

I'm sorry I can't try your way.

I'm sorry I can't be JUST that person.

I'm sorry I'm 'running away'.

I'm sorry I misinterpreted your actions.

I'm sorry I thought there was something there.

I'm sorry I'm so irritable around you.

I'm sorry I get bothered by the smallest things.

But Most Importantly.

I'm sorry I acted on impulse.

I'm sorry I took you for granted.

I'm sorry I couldn't see how well you treated me.

I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promises.
