regret
my pen could not have spelt more words
inspired by you
my voice not have been
more vulnerable and honest
I could not have missed you more
yearning for your joyous being
longing for your kisses and laughter,
and your hands gently resting on me
if I knew we would come to an end
I could not have done any better
parting with beautiful memories
and no regrets
I wish I had been more curious
about what hides in your darker corners
while not avoiding mine
I wish I had been less scared
of asking questions
less afraid to address
what in the end pushed us away
I wish I had been able to hold your shadow tenderly
and soften mine in your presence
