what it was

I should have kissed her longer,
held her tighter and closer,
in our last goodbye,

but I didn't  know that is
what it was.

I should have told her how much,
I loved her, needed her,
wanted her in my life,

but I didn't  know it was,
my last chance.

I wish I'd seen it coming
so far in advance,
I could have found a way,
to in her life stay.

I should have told her
what she means to me,
but I thought she knew.
