It is more a feeling of longing <br />Of time that didn't pass <br /> <br />Time that you weren't here <br />Time that someone else has <br /> <br />The things we should have done <br />The things we should have said <br /> <br />The hugs, i must not have noticed them <br />The 'i love you''s when going to bed <br /> <br />Somewhere they were lost <br />Never seemed very important <br /> <br />As a young girl you weren't there <br />When I shined, proudly grinning <br /> <br />Miles away you stayed <br />Had I even been in your thoughts? <br /> <br />When I still had innocence <br />I was always full of joy <br /> <br />You were never there to see it <br />And now you feel my silence <br /> <br />We have drawn apart <br />But were we ever close? <br /> <br />You didn't teach me life's little lessons <br />Didn't teach me the hard ones <br /> <br />Who taught me how to throw a ball? <br />Who took me fishing for the first time? <br />Who danced with me when i was little, letting me keep my feet on top of yours <br /> <br />I missed those things with you <br />We just skipped all of them <br /> <br />I guess we can't go back <br />There are no redoes in life <br /> <br />I just wish we could have had something <br />Something more than just hello and goodbye<br /><br />Meg Birt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wishing-we-could-have-had-something/
