i just heard the news
that you left and not coming back
too late for me
i couldn’t even say goodbye
i start wishing
i could turn back
the hands of time
call you the many times
i almost called
only i didn’t
stop by your house
for that cup of tea
that i just never got
to share with you….
too many regrets
time waits for no man i know
i know that now more than ever
i somehow always thought
you’d always be around
so i post poned the calls and visits
forgetting that life is not at all
in my hands
or in my control
i forgot
that death chooses not
i forget that today
is all we are assured of
actually,
now is all we know of
i forgot and now you’re gone.
you’ve left me
with so many untold stories
so many unspoken conversations
so many missed coffee dates
and i can’t post pone them any more
for now for sure
they will never happen
i hope somehow
you get to read this note
and know that i am sorry
for all the times
i almost did something
only i never did.
forgive me for the almosts….
its amazing how when we lose someone to death,we wish and regret and after they are gone and we are back on track,we do the same mistakes with those still left instead of learning and doing things differently…we sit and wait for another death to happen for us to wish and regret and yet never do anything differently.do not carry forward that which you can easily do today.you know not about tomorrow….
special dedication to Tina…R.I.P.
