No Regrets
About…
All the books that went unwritten
All the best boys gone unsmitten
Lazy days you didn’t work out
Crazy coughs you didn’t check out
Infidelities unsuspected
Secret bank accounts undetected
The Ph.D. you never earned
The second language barely learned
Seven wonders, you missed six
That broken heart you swore to fix
Those chocolate truffles you denied yourself
Those chocolate truffles you supplied yourself
Never golfed, never skied
Didn’t follow every lead
All the things you coulda shoulda
How would life be if you woulda?
Maybe better
Maybe worse
No one wants to take that bet.
That’s the curse of vain regret.
