A youth’s lament

I was a fool once who lived in town

when I met her, in January.

We laugh and loved, we fight and frown

And thus so ended, our little story.

I now stand proudly on my own

a hint of regret, the tiniest of worry.

For I want to see her wear that gown

smiling proudly, celebrating victory.

But perhaps it is Pride in my crown

that stopped me from saying that I am sorry.

So maybe one day I’ll move again  into town

to be a fool once more, and start another story!
