#show-dont-tell
I had loved you.
You were the best thing that ever happened to me.
I had loved you.
Even if I was still too small to seriously feel.
You cared for me, nurtured me, protected me,
Yet I had never told you just how much I cared.
I had never told you how much I was jealous when my brothers
Said they loved you, and I could never say.
I never spoke to you, not even a bit.
I never thought I could ever feel so much guilt.
Even after so many years,
Even after so many tears,
I regret never telling you just what I truly feel.
I loved you with all the strength of a universe,
No one could deny.
Even after so much remorse.
Even after so many lies.
Now it is too late to tell you that I love you;
Say the the three words that now cause me pain to say.
I will forever live with the regret
Of starting to talk so late.
