I am sorry!
I am sorry I never treasured them,
I am sorry I never expressed my feelings as much,
I am sorry I never told them how much I love them,
And just how much they meant to me,
I am sorry!
I wasted so much time, I thought I had excess of it,
Please, that was one big misconception,
I postponed every meet up to next week,
Every video call to tomorrow,
And every catch up session to later,
I forgot that you, my dear friend are always right behind the door,
Waiting for another negligent person like me
Who takes borrowed time for granted,
Who forgets completely that what meets is eventually destined to part,
I am sorry!
I really thought I had time,
I needed to clear my schedule first, I was too busy
I swear I was gonna call them, later...
Or maybe not,
Cause you're always right behind the door
To make sure there is no later.
So I am sorry that I underestimated you,
And you had to teach me a lesson
And now they're gone, forever.
Dear Death!
