We could have talked about it
I guess.
We could have discussed things
instead of flying into fury
and fighting for five fevered hours.

We could have remained calm
and taken things more lightly.
We could have been different people
I suppose
than the ones we are.

We could have just found ways
to let go
before exploding.
It might have been easier
had we done any of that.

Easier
had I done
any of that.
I’m sorry.
