My mother loves remembering dates She counts how old I am in days and tells me that she loves me In moments like this regression feels like the only way out As a new child is born an older sibling will start wetting the bed again Trying... hoping.. to go back He left me On February 17th When people ask how many years its been I'd like to answer them in seconds Sometimes I write February 17th on November I don't do it on purpose I really... don't think I've lived A second without you

Regression
