Unfinished

If I had stopped

If just for a moment

To memorize every detail

Would it hurt like this?

Would I be able to reach back inside the memories

And find comfort

Be confident that you’d remain this close

Even as the years pass, and I grow old

If I had known our time was coming to an end

Would I have tried a little harder

Been around more often

Would my feelings of guilt differ

Would I miss you more?

If we had more time

Would we have still been friends

Would we be as close

Would I love you this much?
