Regret

When it comes to love, one should never espouse regret.

I never knew the sound of music,

 Until I met you.

 I swear, I heard violins playing,

 Somewhere, somehow.

 That’s when you smiled.

 I shied away from your

 Staggering countenance. 

 I averted my flushing gaze

 To the crossing stars.

 I could tolerate their beauty,

 At least.

 And then, you offered me your hand.

 “Will you regret this?”

 You asked with your eyes.

 Non, Je ne regrette rien,

 I sang softly.

 You pulled me close.

 And grazed your lips

 Against mine.

 We danced our way into

 A perfect portrait:

 A burning blend of red hues.

 I never learned your name,

 But I knew you.

 I could sense Midnight approaching.

You stopped our movements.

“Will you remember this?”

 Your hand caressed my flushed cheek.

 Je t’aime. Tu es entre dans mon coeur,

 I breathed.

 The clock chimed.

 The colors flashed black and white.

 I fell out of your arms,

 And tumbled out of our portrait.

 But I held onto the memory of you.

 And when I close my eyes,

 I still hear the sound of music.

 You are with me always, Darling.

 I regret nothing.
