Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

You Were My First

one after the other
all my mistakes i did with you
took life for granted
i was unseasoned and naïve

yes i should have known better
but i was young and foolish

it’s been a long time coming
i should have told you long ago
i have regrets and i’m sorry
can’t turn back the hands of time
