Regrets by Kateryna Udovychenko

Today, you wore your Sunday's best,

But I just didn't tell you

That I adore the way you dressed;

And now I feel regretful.

I wish I wouldn't hesitate,

But you are so breathtaking

That all the words I think of fade

And set my silence waking.

Sometimes I wish I could say more,

(On time, right in the moment),

To be more poised than before,

To be a better girlfriend.

This quiet hopelessness of thoughts

Is ice for my mind's fire;

My tongue is tied up into knots,

My chagrin sharp as briar.

Oh, I regret not only that,

But feel not often hollow:

For when my hand is in your hand,

I don't acknowledge sorrow.
