for the first time

no regrets

snippets of conversations,
you never miss
a thing --

though people wouldn't know it,
you have this way
of hiding

your thoughts in places
where people
don't look --

you know I am
more aware
than most --

I know they hurt you,
took you for granted;
used you --

and so you
sought something
safe, just like me --

and somehow
we found something
we both fear --

but don't regret.

Finding that space in ourselves and in our love is so precious and so precarious. Well penned.
