Even though the narrator has all these regrets, he never expresses any remorse about never telling Holly how he really feels about her. He is so excited to hear from her, and has all these things he wants to tell her. So the narrator is still thinking about her and still in love with her, but he has no desire to know what would have happened if he would have told her how he feels. | |||
