regret

I don’t have time,

I’m too busy,

Are the words you always heard.

The drive is too long,

I’m too tired,

Are the words you always heard.

You waited for me,

I know you did,

You always told me you waited,

but I never came.

And now here we are,

I’m standing in the bathroom,

Crying with my mom,

begging her to not let you go.

But there’s nothing we can do,

You’re at the end.

I was standing next to your bed,

and looked you in the eyes,

turned around to wipe away a tear,

and when I looked again, you were gone.
