THE THINGS I DIDN'T SAY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO LATE The things I didn't get to say, and the things you'll never get to hear, both are my regrets to carry. I'm just hoping I can lessen the weight, and maybe some of the guilt I've been holding in. I didn't cherish you completely, not because I took you for granted, but because I thought there was always more time. I didn't think we would be robbed of this connection, and that everything is now a memory. I wish I could have told you that I loved you more. I wish I could make more of an effort to spend more time in your presence. In those moments we shared, I embraced you with my all-but pieces of me, the broke pieces, feel like it wasn't enough. I don't possess the power to turn back the hands of time, to make our journey, or yours, longer. We stood the test of our time, and we couldn't defeat fate. I feel like I didn't do, say, or remind you enough of your value to my life, or how much of an exceptional gift you were to the world. I just wish I had more time to witness your beautiful heart, but I know there's no way we can go back. So, I release this weight of shame, guilt, and regret because I loved you with everything, even if it wasn't always spoken, you knew it. The love that will live on, in my heart, in the shadows, and for the rest of my time: you are forever a part of me.
