i should’ve shouted your name i should’ve followed you to the ends of the earth i should’ve disregarded your fame i should’ve known that that was just a once in a lifetime feat— that I could’ve taken your hands—i should’ve taken our picture—i should’ve taken a moment that i could’ve stolen i should’ve been selfish i should’ve seized it even if it meant of war, of zombie-swarm, of everybody recognizing your star, of revelation of your sanctuary, of chaos of thee, so, it shall be i should’ve seized it asked for a drop of ink of your handprint i should’ve seized it but i didn’t maybe it was cowardice but hell, i gave you peace like how your name was supposed to mean at my own peace's expense because **** you couldn’t spell this lingering regret without the letters IRENE

Lingering Regret
i should’ve shouted your name i should’ve followed you to the ends of the earth i should’ve disregarded your fame i should’ve known that that was just a once in a lifetime feat— that I could’ve taken your hands—i should’ve taken our picture—i should’ve taken a moment that i could’ve stolen i should’ve been selfish i should’ve seized it even if it meant of war, of zombie-swarm, of everybody recognizing your star, of revelation of your sanctuary, of chaos of thee, so, it shall be i should’ve seized it asked for a drop of ink of your handprint i should’ve seized it but i didn’t maybe it was cowardice but hell, i gave you peace like how your name was supposed to mean at my own peace's expense because **** you couldn’t spell this lingering regret without the letters IRENE
I met Red Velvet's Irene and instead of approaching her, I gave her peace.
