Regret (I Don't)

I don't regret the way I breathed in your heart, Or the way you gently held my hand in the dark. I don't regret how it felt that morning, glowing with summers heat, When we met in secret to feel our hearts beat. That was the last time it felt real, and no I don't regret, I just hope no matter where we are, that we don't forget. You told me you wanted to kiss me, As the river rushed and my flesh was no longer frozen, My heart skipped and ran as I finally felt chosen. But our lips never met and I don't regret, How you told me that evening you were scared and you weren't ready yet. I know what that meant, and I don't have some false hope, But I won't regret and I don't have to cope. You told me that you loved me, But just as a friend. Hey darling I understand, we don't have to pretend. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, But I loved every moment that I spent with you, I know how you feel, I was scared out of my mind too. I don't regret the way we awkwardly flirted, Or the way it feels foolish looking back, your words bluntly blurted. Honest and raw was our code of conduct, I am messy and bleeding, who am I to instruct? But regret? No, not for a moment. I only hope that I still mean the world to you, Just know that you mean the world to me too.
