Longing for what is lost


What will I not give, to relive those couple of days...
To touch the fold of your wrinkles,
To see you remove your dentures.

One more chance to talk and share -
To plan those grand plans,
To reminisce about simpler times,
A conversation between just you and me.

One more chance to live up to my word -
To see your smile, appreciate your beauty,
To hear your stories while relishing the savouries,
Another chance to get you to stay with me.

Even though now you are at peace,
There is too much anger, guilt, regret
That you've left behind with me.
A longing that will never cease...

Oh, what will I not give, to convince you to not give up,
For you are the only person whose absolute favourite has been me...
