I am the first of the last
You'll find me in the forecast
Yesterday, of me does not know
Unlike today and tomorrow
I have no regrets, you see
And regrets has none of me
With no beginning and no end
What do you think I am, my friend?

Answer
the letter "o"lines 1-2: The letter "o" is the first letter of the word "omega" which means the last. The word "forecast" contains an "o".
lines 3-4: The word "yesterday" does not contain ("know") the letter "o", whereas the words "today" and "tomorrow" do.
lines 5-6: Since I am a letter, I cannot have any regrets. And the word "regrets" has no letter "o".
lines 7-8: The way that I am shaped has no beginning and no end (as a circle).

Thanks for the fun teaser!
Fun teaser. At first I thought it was the present.
Very fun and well written. I had all kinds of answers running through my head as I read this, but "regrets have none of me" triggered the answer for me. I did not get the correct (and excellent) interpretation of line 1, even though "omega" came to mind when I first read the line. I though "o" is the first letter of the last half of the alphabet, except "o" is the second letter of the last half. Hmmm...
Good fun teaser!
