There should have been more time
For us to get things right
All the ambiguity
Shouldn't have been left
At my feet
I will regret
The careless way I handled
Our strained relationship
The time I never took
To explore your feelings
How were we to know
A lifetime
Would be so short

You weren't to know. That's the point. Bec, it seems as though you are giving yourself such a hard time, but you know, it wasn't all your fault. There were two of you in that relationship, and like all young people, we think we have forever. Forever to get it sorted, resolved. It's not your fault that you didn't.
I know that in my head, I can't make that travel to my heart. Anyway, I had a fairly long time to get it right, I just never tried, and if I'm honest, I'm not convinced I would have, because I wouldn't have the glimpses of her I now have through her writing.
