[bodytext] => I would have done so many things differently If only I would have known So many things I would have said So many emotions I would have shown I would have hugged you tighter I would have held on longer I would have asked you so many questions Just so I wouldn’t have to wonder I would have asked you for advice And I would have saved it for now Just so I wouldn’t be so lost Because you are not around I would have told you how much I love you I would have begged you not to go I would have asked God to let you stay Because I can’t do this alone I would have stuck around longer that day If I knew it were our last goodbye But Dad, you didn’t warn me You didn’t tell me you were going to die I didn’t know I was going to lose you My Dad, my coach, my best friend... I wouldn’t have let go that morning If I knew your life was going to end I would have listened to your laugh more carefully I would have focused on your eyes I would have taken in your scent I wasn’t ready for tough goodbyes I would have prepared myself for this It wouldn’t be so unexpected I would have seen it coming And I wouldn’t have been so affected There is so much you should have been here for So much that you’re gonna miss So many memories that we should have shared But those memories won’t ever exist You won’t be able to see me graduate You can’t walk me down the aisle You won’t be part of being the first witness Of my baby boy or girl’s first smile Everyday seems to be a struggle To let go of the past But the truth is when it comes to losing someone The pain always seems to last I know I can’t count on you being here Because heaven is way too far away But for now I’ll hold on to the notion that We’ll be together again someday [comments] => 1 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 32 [informant] => MichelleLynn [notes] => Edited for spelling, as requested. - Moderator_14 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
