Regret

You waited for me in the dark outside my window. I regret I didn’t climb down the trellis to see you. You came to ask my family if you could marry me. I regret I didn’t tell them I would have no other man. You are so handsome, so healthy and strong. Lover, come and take me away. I don’t want to live with my parents another day. Lover, come and take me to our new home.
