Regular expression, ignore specific characters from second group

I have the following regular expression \[([^]]*)] ([^]]*) I use it to separate a string like [text] message to send! into text as a type and message to send! as the message, I use it so it's easier to change the type of messages to send. It works really well but I encountered a problem, if the message contains [ ] it ends the expression for example: [text] message to send as a [test] anything after this is ignored! it would process text as group one and only [text] message to send as a [test as group two.
How can I make it so the group two is anything after the first [ ] is found, ignoring what ever is after and putting it on group two?

You are already matching the first group if all you want to do is match the rest then simply change the regex from

\[([^]]*)] ([^]]*)

to

\[([^]]*)](.*)
