History Lesson

If I could take back just one day

In a life filled with regret,

I'd cancel out that awful time,

The day when we two met.

And hope that with the sorrow

I've known at your harsh touch,

Logic would reign inside my heart

And I'd not need so much.

Jessica, Oh did this one strike a chord with me! If I could change one day in my 31 years it would be the day I agreed to go out with my first boyfrien. I'd be a completely different person if I'd never gone out with him, and I don't know if that person would be "better" or not but I DO know she probably wouldn't have been through so much pain, blame, and self-loathing. Thank you for sharing this piece, Jessica; I think everyone has a day they want to take back and change.
