Acceptance Contains No Regret

Its taken me a long time to finally admit 
that you aren't coming back to me
I knew from the start 
you were a quick fix 

I struggled with my  loneliness forever so it seems 
but I have to admit, it got easier each day 
The empty mug sits in the sink ,no longer yours  
yes, I wiped it clean and put it back in its place      

Do you think you could forgive me 
for smiling a little at the end of the day?
I had to finally accept, 
and no... I have no regret.
