I Don't Regret Having Regrets

I could just imagine

how life-full I’d be

If I had joined in the fashion

and taken LSD

 

Or joined the Breakfast Club

Just to get an A-plus

I could have given that back rub

and not created so much fuss

 

Naked locker room boy

I could have had my fun

Never trouble with getting joy

Although I made the tall ones run

 

It must have made them truly mad

to know my parents had no jobs

Thankful anyway for the life I had

while standing next to Billy Joes

 and crazy Bobs

 

If I had played hookie

I could have kissed some a*s

Always the number one rookie

with a daily Hall Pass

 

Accepting a proposition

Like taking a deposition

I did not want to lie

just to have a piece of the pie

 

Faking like I had emotion

A sheer sign of true devotion

Had to be a part of the crowd

even when the losers were loud

 

Could have said,” I love you”

Especially when I felt it

a youngster still knew what to do

without any coercing

 - not one bit

Author's Note

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda are the same as regrets

Very nice, TT. We all have those "what if's, and some sort of regrets in our lifetime. The line that stands out the most to me is "Could have said, "I love you".
A very valuable lesson...don't let those precious moments in life pass us by, and live it to the fullest....with no regrets!
