Years of joy, love, pain, down to regret

Perhaps I took her for granted

Should have brought her flowers more

Stopped all the complaining

Showed her how I feel

Been there for her

Not just me

Too late

Gone

    Ouch...felt this one to my core, Andrew! Great job. Often hardest to look back and realise the mistakes we have made and how we could have repaired things.
