Regrets
Oct 26, 2021
- Taking the less comfortable chair.
- A text message left on read.
- You died before I could tell you about the electricity in the air at Stonehenge.
- We could never figure out how we knew each other.
- Leaving Madrid without saying goodbye.
- Caring more about you than you did about me.
- Holding my neck to one side upon impact.
- He held my hand and my knees were locked and it all descended into tunnel vision.
- Forgetting her mask in the car.
- The look in her eyes at the pier.
- Staring too long at the bloodstain.
- The book of poems I loaned you.
- Bringing him up at dinner.
- Writing off the symptoms.
- Hating the sin and loving the sinner.
- Breaking it off before leaving for Reykjavík.
- Cussing her out in the parking lot.
- Waiting too long to try again.
