How is it that I couldn't remember Until you were gone... Your voice, Your smile, Your laughter...... How is it that I never missed you as much As I do now... Now that you're gone.. I cry at night in rememberance Of your understanding Devotion You loved me Yet I never responded You wanted to see me Yet I never came... And now you're gone In an abyss that only you would understand Somewhere I can never go Conciously I didn't get to say goodbye When I had the chance I never got to get one last hug in When I had the chance I never got to tell you how much you meant to me When I had the chance And now you're gone, Time passed me by I ask the clouds, the moon, the stars A million times why.... Why didn't I do what I should have When I had the chance. And as these tears fall from my eyes I long to hold you just to tell you goodbye I know you were in there...you just couldn't respond I know you wished I would come see you In your last hours... You were alone when you went... NO one around. But they were in your heart... You were loved Loved by many. And although the path you walked was a rocky one They still loved you I still loved you.... You were like me in so many ways Rebelious Ecclectic Non conforming to others ways And now I feel like half of me is gone And it's something I'll never get back I'm sorry I wasn't there Just to say goodbye Just to kiss you one last time Just to tell you I love you And be in your presence for a while... You have blessed my life in many ways Ways you'll never know... I just wish I could have said all of this When I had the chance I love and miss you Linda.

Hi SorrowsMystress, This was beautiful and i'm sure she has see it and knows how you feel. I too have been in this place and after time I found that my reason for not going to see the person was because I was afraid to say goodbye to them, I didn't want to say goodbye and I didn't want to hurt. What ever the reason then, they know now how you truly feel about them. This was truly lovely, Cerenity |
