REGRETS

I wish I had her here
But now she’s gone

I wish that time was slower
So she would know
How hard I worked
To give her something better.

I wish I could explain to her
All the reasons for my deeds.

I didn’t see it clear
Until she left
Work is not important
When it takes her away.

All the things I gave her
Weren’t what she wanted

I was what she wanted
I was what she needed

I was just too busy
Because I cared.
