I could’ve been better for you

We’ve had our ups and downs 
You’ve set your boundaries 
You’ve set your walls 
I was able to knock them down for just a second 
See your true self 
See how you see yourself 
I wanted to see you glow 
Watch you blossom into the beautiful flower you were ment to be 
Watch you grow into the woman I want to marry
No words can describe the pain I feel 
I should’ve held you hand more 
Bought you flowers more 
Take you out more 
Hug you tightly 
Kiss you any chance I get 
Change my ways for the better 
Change not just for you, 
But for me too 
I’m glad you came in 
But now it’s sad all I have is your memory
