I wish I could have loved you
\nThe way you deserved to be loved <\/p>\n
But you ran with the wild ones
\nNot easily harnessed, a free spirit <\/p>\n
I saw a side of you that no one saw
\nA side I longed to honor and teach <\/p>\n
Your mind, heart and soul weren\u2019t ready
\nThey were all just beyond my reach <\/p>\n
I sat and waited year after year
\nReserving the words you might want to hear<\/p>\n
Time moved on slow and steady
\nI gave up pursuing, you still were not ready <\/p>\n
We met a few times but you were in love
\nI decided to leave it to our Father above <\/p>\n
Little did we know our time would be lessened
\nOur final date cut short, it never happened <\/p>\n
My life quickly ended one day after work
\nBy a demon who had no regards for my worth <\/p>\n
I left with a longing I felt deep inside
\nI pray we will meet in the afterlife. <\/p>\n
I watch from above and I guide from afar
\nYou will always be embedded in my heart like a scar. <\/p>\n
