pasts regret

 

In our past

We have moments of regret

With him

I would have held tighter

Kept that sobbing child in my arms

For her

I would have confessed

My confused teenage love and fear

To them

I would have offered more

Than the knowledge of friendship

Always, I should have been there

For them

The regrets of childhood

Time and pride never allow us to confess
