read this in two months

we're all going to regret this later

we're all going to regret making that one offensive joke

we're all going to regret kissing the girl that distracted us from the one we would die for

we're all going to regret going to that party

we're all going to regret this summer


but it's ok


because this summer we wrote

this summer we connected with strangers

this summer we fell in love with words

this summer we discovered more of ourselves


and that's what matters


because between all the regrets we'll have poems to fill the gaps

we'll have secret crushes to make our lips ache

we'll have pen names outline the pain

we'll have our truths revealed


and yes we may regret this later


but for now, we'll be alright
