Looking back, it seems so clear
I should have known
We shared so many interests
I should have told you
I wanted to know more about you
I should have asked you
You were panicked, desperate
I should have been there
If I'd known you were so close
I would have reached out to you
If I'd known you had so little time
I would have tried to make you feel better
If I'd known you'd do it
I would have talked to you
If I'd known you would be dead
I would have been a better friend
I feel responsible for your pain
I could have tried harder to lessen it
There's so many times I regret
I could have comforted you when you were down
If I'd only been there when you hit your low
I could have stopped you, I could have tried
My guilt is so clear to me
I could have stopped you, before you died

Someone I know committed suicide recently.
