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.
