Time Is of the Essence

Although I gave you some of my time I feel that it is still not enough
Each day you use to call me and sometimes I would be too busy or tired to answer 
And sometimes I would forget to call you back because I knew that you would call again
But now my phone is not ringing and now I will never get the opportunity to talk to you 
Although I did visit you sometimes, I feel that it was not enough 
The little time we did talk, you would ask me when the next time I was going to visit you
I would say soon but when soon came I was too busy doing nothing or just too tired to go 
Now you are gone and I will never get the chance to go visit you again 
The truth is - I had time to come up with different excuses of why I can’t call or visit
Thinking that there will always be tomorrow when I would get the chance to talk and visit
Although I did talk to you on the phone and would visit you, I just feel like it was not enough
Because each phone call I missed or didn’t return, I missed an opportunity to hear your voice
And now that you are gone, it’s that voice that I truly miss 
Each time that I didn’t visit you, I missed the opportunity to be in your presence 
And now that you are gone, spending time with you is something that I miss
We get so caught up in life sometimes and fail to realize that time is of the essences
Thinking that we'll always have the chance to get things done later but later is not promised 
Although I feel it was never enough, I do know that the little time we did spend, I cherished
And that the little time when talk, I never hung up without telling you I loved you first
So although I feel it was not enough, I am grateful of all of the time we had together
