Should I tell her?

No regrets

I swear to you

not one.

 

Except

 

a question in a text

a reply that fired a gun

 

fate’s bullet aimed straight

shattered my heart

another’s life saved.

 

If I had said yes

instead of no

would I still be alone now -

who knows?

 

Martyrdom – with a reward to come?

Or stupidity – my life coming undone?

Loyalty & mateship. A devotion that covers and protects, even to one's personal loss & hurt. Admirable & noble even if it can feel or look like stupid martyrdom. Thanks for sharing.

No regrets
Sounds bullet proof
But I'm not sure.

Liked this katy,
my problem is usually the other way
If I had said no
instead of yes!
Best wishes, Steve
