Why do i feel this quiet regret after the breakup?

Author

Today I sit with the regret,
That maybe, just maybe,
If I had protected those fragile parts of me,
Though I did not know how,
Maybe they wouldn’t have been shattered like this.
Maybe if I had loved myself as fiercely as I loved,
Maybe if I gave myself the same grace I gave,
Maybe I would not have been a stepping stone,
For unclean feet.
