Regret-filled Longing

Maybe you know who you are …
But maybe you don’t …
Whether you read this or not,
I hope you know I miss you.

Even while I regret my negligence
I know I can’t take it back
I still cherish the memories made
Even as the recollection is laced with pain

I wish so much that back I could go
With that which I now do know
To save that which met its end
For each of us, I’d save a friend
