You Are My Only Regret

I miss you so much,
I wish I could go back in time,
Just to see u smile again,
Just for one last hug,
One last kiss.
Just to see you one last time.

I was too young when u died,
So I didn’t get to know you very well.
I wish I could have.
The only memories I have of you are when you were in pain.
In the hospital,
Ashamed of letting me see you like that.
But I was never ashamed.
I loved you,
And I still do!

You were such a happy man,
So everyone tells me,
But I just can’t remember!
I can’t remember your smile,
I can’t remember your laugh,
I can’t remember your happiness.
I miss you so much,
I just wish I could remember.

Maybe if I could,
The pain would go away.
The tears would soak into my skin and dry up.
Maybe the hole in my heart would even fill in.
If I could only remember.

I only have one regret in my life,
Not spending enough time with you,
Not giving you enough hugs,
Not getting to know you.

You are my only regret!

I miss you Guido,
Wish you were here!

Thanks P.D. My Guido (grandfather) meant a lot to me, and it makes me sad that I never really got to know him.
