You were always on my mind

Why am I so lonely,
Why didn't I share love and time?
Why couldn't I make death wait longer?
You were always on my mind.

I would have shaped myself better,
Controlled my stubbornness and drive,
Listened to you, ignored conflicts,
You were always on my mind.

I would have reset my life's course,
Repenting past mistakes,
Heard your whispers of love so clear,
You were always on my mind.

Through days swiftly passing,
You were always on my mind,
In silent nights, your face appears,
A phantom of regret.

With tenderness, I'd hold you close,
Cherish each fleeting breath,
For every beat my heart has missed,
You were always on my mind.
