Clinging to me tightly
Making sure I won't forget
Poking at me gently
Filling me with regret
Yes it was a long time ago
The incident was minor
Not sure he even noticed
I think the only one
Who walked away
Feeling hurt
Was me

Now it finds me in the shower
In between meals
While waiting for a ride
Before I fall asleep
I'm thinking
If only I had known
What I know now
I would have made a different choice
.......but I was only 13
I was only 22
I was only 41
It never ends

How I envy those
Who shake it off
