Death came upon us<\/p>\n
When we were least suspect<\/p>\n
And left the rest of us<\/p>\n
With nothing but regret<\/p>\n
Regret we didn’t say the things<\/p>\n
We really ought to say<\/p>\n
But now it’s all too late<\/p>\n
To say them anyway<\/p>\n
We miss not having you around<\/p>\n
We think of you each day<\/p>\n
We just don’t understand<\/p>\n
Why you went away<\/p>\n
If we had one more chance<\/p>\n
To say three simple words<\/p>\n
Like “I love you or I need you”<\/p>\n
But now it seems absurd<\/p>\n
Because you left us in your prime<\/p>\n
And chose to end it all<\/p>\n
Who said that we were finished<\/p>\n
We didn’t make that call<\/p>\n
Im hurting deep inside today<\/p>\n
The pain won’t go away<\/p>\n
Can’t we start all over?<\/p>\n
Won’t you choose to stay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
