Dashed.

Its starboard light winked once in the glass and —

the ship was gone from view.

Regrets.

June 18, 2018November 18, 2018 Lucy

the could’ves, the should’ves, and the never-dids

the would’ves, and the won’ts

some weren’t-to-bes and what-nots

some forget-me-nots and why-nots

the might’ve-gots and won’t-be-gots

the shan’t-haves, the can’t-haves

the probably-never-would’ve-anyways

and the but-we-thought-we-had-everythings.
