I regret it all:
loving you too much and not
loving you enough; sunburns and all the times
I stayed inside; not eating more cake
eating too much ice cream; sleeping
not having slept, bad dreams and funny dreams;
I regret having been born so soon and not
having been born sooner
I regret losing and I regret holding on
I regret planting the seeds too soon and I regret
not having planted more
I regret the color of the sky and the shape
of the continents; I regret being dragged under
and I regret
sticking my head out so quickly to breathe
