Never Again

I wish you were here I wish I had sat beside you yesterday When I had the chance I wish I had told you how I really felt When you said you loved me at the dance. More than once I've wished I could shake the hands of time Until they sent you back. I'd give every quarter and dime I own If only they would bring you home. I regret many of the choices I have made. I'm sorry for every time I ever hurt you; I dearly wish I hadn't. Now I'll have to live with the guilt Until it's my time to go. I just didn't know it would end this soon. I thought I would have forever to make you mine Death never even crossed my mind. Now each time I close my eyes, Your smile haunts my very soul. For that I'm happy It assures me I will never forget you For that moment I know you are still with me And forever my only love I know you will be. I pass this on as a note To all those who speak before they think, Who shout, knowing it will cause someone else hurt Sit beside the one you love, Treat them like a magic glove. Dance with them If you have the chance And if you love them, Tell them how you really feel For someday it will be the end; You'll get the chance to do these things Never Again.
