He touched me with his eyes,when I was too young to see. I touched him with a smile and then he came to me. He touched with his voice when I was too young to hear,I touched him with my quiet ways,and soon did his love appear.He touched me with his hands when I was too young to feel.I touched him with my selfishness but he didn't believe it was real.He touched me with his heart but I was too young to care.I touched him with all the pain ,more than he could bare.He touched me with his tears but I was too young to cry.I touched him with my new ideas and then I said,"goodbye".He touched me with his blessings but I was too young to see,that this man,with all this love would forever mean the world to me.

About this poem:
I was only 16 when I met my first husband.I was young and stupid and soon after we married I wanted a divorce so I could be free and wild.For most of my life since then, I have kicked myself for dumping that wonderful man,but I was young,immature and wanted my freedom.

Very sad. Understood it without the explanation, soo I have to say well penned. Regret is a terrible thing but you're also enlightened enough to realise, which is good. What's that saying 'If we dont learn from our mistakes we're doomed to repeat them'.
Sincere write brynda, sometimes we have to grow into who we are & that takes time...really understandable & sad regrets , written so well...thanks 4 sharing!!
