I just talked to you yesterday, it seems
I’m sorry it took so long.
You said you were doing things you loved
And finally had the job you wanted.
I talked to you yesterday, it seems
You were happier than I remembered.
You said you had a better life
Had conquered the sadness we once shared.
I talked to you yesterday, it seems
I read your words for the first time in years.
They seemed to glow with a light
I had never seen before.
I talked to you yesterday, it seems
But now I’m sure that cannot be.
I saw your name in a year old paper
Page 5: Obituaries
I talked to your family today, it seems
And I couldn’t meet their eyes.
Sorry will never be enough,
For all the yesterdays we never spoke.
