The things I wish I had told you

I love you

Not as a friend

But as so much more

I wish I could wake up next to you

Every morning

Bathed in the sunlight of your smile

I should have taken you seriously

When you said you had loved me since the second grade

Instead of laughing

But I was young, stupid, and afraid

I will always regret that

I should have told you to stay

That night

I didn't want you to go

And looking back

You didn't want to either

But I didn't know you weren't coming back

If I had

I wouldn't have shoved you out the door calling you an idiot

You knew I was joking and feigned insult

But I wish I would have at least said

Goodbye
