Accidentally succeeding
It started with a series 
of unfortunate events, 
poor choices, mistakes, 
foolish reason on my part.
 
I was often led 
with a head full of dreams,
romantic ideals
barely smarter than my heart.
 
Friends gone, loves lost,
they weighed up the cost,
or just wouldn't 
give me a second glance.
 
Futile regrets, near misses,
pointless wishes
to undo all the errors,
start fresh - another chance.
 
Looking back I could feel 
that it's foolish and unreal 
and I could wonder
if I ever had a clue.
 
I don't want to change a thing,
don't begrudge the load I'm bearing,
I'm pleased because 
my journey's led to you.
 
I know you feel regrets
and have wishes unfulfilled,
the life you're living now
not what you had dreamed.
 
But this series of events,
as unfortunate as they seem, 
praise fate because 
they've led you straight to me.

The rhyme feels really therapeutic, a circle of events turned good.
