I Should Have...

I never took the time before to tell you that I cared,
I never took the time to call, though you were always there,
I knew that you were sick, I knew you were dying,
I should have taken time enough, and now I'm left here, crying,
It doesn't do a bit of good to touch your cold, dead cheek,
It doesn't help you any, if I admit that I was weak,
I couldn't stand the sight of you deteriorating before me,
I couldn't face reality, although you did implore me,
I know it doesn't help you now to know that I am aching,
It doesn't erase the sorrow though, and the time I am now taking,
I know it's now a bit too late to tell you how I feel,
But that doesn't make this pain or anger any less than real,
I tried to fight my inner self for so very long,
I didn't do quite good enough,I know that I was wrong,
If you can see the words from wherever you may be,
Please just understand that you still stand here with me,
Deep within my heart you live on and always will,
For the first time since your funeral, I admit I love you still,
If you can see these words please do not be p*ssed,
I just wanted to say that you are dearly missed.

| wasting energy, time, and feelings on regretting things you should have done gets you nowhere, you only go backwards. greif and regrets are natural, but they shouldnt inhibit you. what you didnt do doesnt matter anymore, that door is shut, what you can do is what is important. you took a step in writing this. sometimes the most important people in our lives are the most taken for granted. but maybe you will be more up front next time, if there is one. live with no regrets, accept what happened, and change what you can. i hope i didnt make you too angry =/ |
