Omnium-gatherum: A Miscellaneous Collection

Regrets

A boy and girl
They sit in class
She helps him read
Through zigs and zags
Behind blue glass
The foreign words
He does not know
And so she shows him how

She tries his ring
On her small hand
It's much too big
But still it fits
And so they sit
And talk with friends
About nothing
And feelings start to grow

New foreign words
Flow from his mouth
Ich liebe dich
"What does it mean?"
She cannot guess
And so it's left
With no answer
She realized too late

It's two years now
They both have left
They do not talk
She wonders how
He really felt
It's much too late
For anything
And now she has regrets
