Analysis of blue skies of regret



I was stupid to think that you would still be here, 
on my wedding day or my 1st born’s birthday.
maybe I was foolish to think that you were getting better or that you’d live forever. 
I wanted to tell you that I love you, but I guess I was a little too late...

About this poem

I wrote this poem as a way to cope with grief of losing one of the most important people in my life. It has been 4 years but I still cannot get over it, and i did not get to say those 3 words.
