I wish I could unravel time Pull it back, stitch it new— Erase the moments of regret And let your love shine through.
If only I were whole, not fragile, If you had been my first embrace— You, so gentle in your strength, Whose iron hand still offers grace.
I grieve the echo of your daughter, Her memory shimmering like a star— An angel now, too soon gone While our hearts bear every scar.
I mourn the years you spent on me When you might have held her more, But the hours flew past unheeding And sorrow knocked at our door.
Yet in the trembling aftermath I find in you a steady light— A trace of joy in the tragedy, A warmth that never takes flight.
Though shattered by longing and loss, I cling to love that hasn’t died— Even when the world feels unfair And every wish is cast aside.
So I keep you close in hope and pain, Proud of all you are and do— Dreaming of a kinder chapter Where we hold on and make it through.
Even in this heartbreak’s shadow, A promise glimmers at the end— If only things had been different, You’d still be my forever friend.
