Is how long it has been, & I can't bear it.
With each passing day, the sorrow goes deeper, & not that much easier to bear.
If there were things I could take back I would.
I should've called more often.
I should've listened a little better.
I should've stuck around a little longer. T
hree hundred & sixty-five have come & went at this exact moment,
& the whole it has left is irreplaceable.
I would say gone but not forgotten, although you never stray too far from me;
you are still with me wherever I go in one form or another. Some things
I cannot take back as they were meant when they were said,
but respect for you I had until the end & beyond.
If I could I would trade me for you,
even though I know you wouldn't want it that way.
Three hundred sixty-five have gone away,
but the pain of missing you is here every day...
