A Little Too Late

why do things have to pass you by?
the things that are so irreplaceable,
they seem to rub by without giving us
the chance to see how much we've just lost
if i can't have you,
at least i was able to know that i once did
someday you'll know that i  was the one for you
if the human body can live with food and water
then why does it feel like i can't live 
without you?
it's amazing the things you realize
when you lose someone...
you get mad at yourself for not 
saying the things you could've said a million and one times
you take for granted
the days spent doing nothing
when you could have been with him
anyone can be taken 
at any time in our lives
but we always wait until their gone
to say the things we never had the courage to say before

[this poem is dedicated to M.A. ...im sorry i never told you how i felt..
im sorry i never told you i love you...im just sorry...]
