Baby

I’m so sorry

for how much more

I could have loved

 

your sparkling eyes

when they met mine

your hands that touched

a whole universe

inside

my chest

your arms that searched

for a warm embrace

I could have given

your hair that brushed

my cheeks that blushed

your breaths that rushed

to my shoulders

my neck

and lungs

But I’m so sorry

for how much that lied

outside

our reach

 

Baby

how I’m so sorry

for how much more

I asked for

that I didn’t need

how much more

I could have done

without leaving again

to breath

to live

but to die again

to see you moving on

from what I could not

Baby

how I’m so sorry

for how much more

I could have fought for

how many more times

I could have kissed

and how much less

I could have missed

because however much I miss you

I’m so sorry

for how much

I could have missed you

more

And how much more

I could have loved

 

my sparkling eyes

when they met

yours.
