In loving memory
I didn't say goodbye this morning
I wish right now that I had
How was I to know that later today
You'd be in the road dead
I wish I'd said I love you
Before I stormed out the door
It didn't matter how mad I was
I should have apologized for things I threw on the floor
I don't give you a hug
Before I left for school
I slammed the door and sped on off
I though that it'd be cool
I wish I'd told you to text me
When you got to work
Because then I would've listened
To the voice in my head that lurks
It told me to say goodbye
To turn around and hug you
To hold you tight and never let you go
Then on my way out say I love you
But I didn't say goodbye that day
I feel so empty inside
I will go the rest of my life
Wishing for you to be back at my side.

When You Read it, You'll know me
PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
