You Were My First

Listen to poem:

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 but can’t turn back the hands of time AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on March 28, 2020

Regrets are simply a way of saying I have lived and grown.

We all make mistakes, dear. True love should not keep a record of them. Great contemplative write.
