If I Would Have Known
If I would have known you wouldn’t be here
I would have stopped worrying about the small stuff
I would have held you tighter and said “I love you “more often
If I would have known you wouldn’t be here
We would have had your celebration of life party a weekend earlier
If I would have known you wouldn’t be here
I would have locked the doors and kept everyone out of our house
People say time heals all wounds however, these wounds still hurt
People say you are pain-free however, we could have controlled your pain
I am happy you are in heaven with your family that left before you
I am overjoyed that your cancer is gone and you are a healthy man
I am thankful for every second, every moment, every day we spent together
Guess what else? I am mad I am sad; defeated because we couldn’t save you
And yet I know you are with God and that death is an amazing part of life
You are saved, you are whole, and you are still you
I miss and love you baby
Simplemente Gracias
