The time traveler desires to undo the mess he made the first time through. The kiss he stole rebounded like a dart to lodge inside his blackened heart. The more he stole the more he bled like going downhill on a sled. He hit the street and then the wall, Time slowed down into a crawl. Please, he begged, rewind this film, truly I shall make amends. I will marry her if once again you grant me leave to begin from when I caught her glance, and then perchance she will grant my wish and give her kiss to mend my roguish heart.
