the first time he left

another thought

my if onlys
add up to
an ocean of
should haves
and a mountain
of regret.

the first time he left
the three of us
cuddled up
in my bed
and we knew
it was us against the world.

the pain I could have
saved you
if only ...
I had the courage
to make the first time
the last.

Thank you, yes, I know. I am working on the emotional part of that which I know intellectually.
