Gone

You never know how much a simple "I love you" means until it's the last one you ever hear.

You never know how hard you should've held their hands until you're no longer allowed to hold them anymore.

You never know how intensely you should have kissed them until you realize you'll never get another kiss from their lips again.

You don't think to cherish the softness of their upper lip,
You don't think to squeeze their hand just a little tighter,
You don't think it'll end until it's already too far gone.

You don't know what you have until after you no longer have it,

And I no longer have you so
I guess I'll just hug myself,
and hope,
pray,
that somewhere you're regretting too.

-S

Please don't leave.
Don't give up on us.
I love you.
(It's not enough for you)
