I thought I still had time
To let you know that you’re a dime.
If not anyone’s, then mine;
But I couldn’t have prepared for
What life had in store.
Before the desired day was at hand,
Well; life happened.
Now I regret not taking a chance.
I regret not asking you for a dance.
Do I blame this cruel life
For taking you from me?
Or do I blame all the time
That I thought you still had to live?
You smile in splendor;
Oh behold, a beautiful slender.
If only I had known
Then I’d have told you long before.
But I was never shown
Just how much time you’d live for.
I’d have kissed you on your cheeks
Just to make you smile;
And always told you to remember this,
You’ll always be mine.
Massaged your feet even when they weren’t sore;
Trying my best to pour
Out all the love I had,
Before your time was at hand.
Before life happened;
That’s all I can say in regret; that life happened.
