i wish i was there. i wish you knew.
i wish i was there when you were lonely.
i wish you knew you weren't alone.
your wife passed, you can barely stand anymore, and your friends are far too busy with their own lives.
who would even notice?
nobody visited often, so it might take a day or two for them to know.
perhaps, a neighbour will question the change in your routine,
or perhaps, they will begin to smell the decomposition on a hot, humid day.
being alone was for the better.
the pain you carried was always meant to be a burden shared by two.
i wish i was there when you loaded the gun.
i wish i was there when the loneliness made you pull the trigger.
i wish you knew i thought of you when i reminiscence our youth.
i wish you knew i thought of your name when i think about my friends.
i wish i was there.
i wish you knew.
