I would have-
if I’d known,
if God had shown,

but I went home,
the last chance blown.
Often think

of that evening,
you-
you

as you
always were,
but ****** puffed,

breathing bad,
looking tired,
and I-

as you,
unaware,
death lingered there.

I would have stayed
had I known,
would not

have left you so.
Regrets are negative
and drag one down,

you'd probably say,
no one likes regrets,
let them go.
