Your lips I once kissed,
But now I shall not
Ever again.
I can still taste your lips against mine,
Sweet and innocent
I can still feel them hesitant and careful.

Now,
I do not regret
Like with the others my lips have touched,
Now I look back to last summer.

One warm summer night
When the sun had long fallen,
But the moon still invisible
You asked me to dance
To the songs of the crickets.
We swayed softly
In the light of the stars

But
In the cold
Harsh
Heartless
Winter,
You vanished from my heart
Frozen from heartbreak
Numb from any ache

But I did not regret
Anything
Not my lips to yours
Not any of the words I spoke into your ear late at night
Or in the blazing hot days

I do not regret anything
of that summer
