A bank of memories
Both happy and sad
Of love and passion
Excitement and delight
Loss and heartbreak.
Je ne regrette rien.
Fleeting encounters
Where impetuosity overcame reason
Fuelled by intense desire
Being mutual objects of lust
Like a flash of lightning
Incandescent, hot, ephemeral
And soon gone.
Je ne regrette rien.
Having been loved deeply
And loved back as well
Sharing everything
Corporeal and intellectual
Carnal and cerebral
Passion that lasted
Through the seasons
Love etched deeply
In my mind as perfect.
Je ne regrette rien.
Time passes, things change
And yet, these memories sustain us
Touchstones of what we were
And what we can be
And what we are
And what we will be.
Endless love and longing
Infinite possibilities for passion
To lose oneself in another
Forever and finally choose
To belong to him.
Je ne regrette rien.
