i wish i could have one more chance just to make sure that you knew i loved you. one more chance to ask if you were okay. One more chance just to say hello.

Even more than that, i wish you had one more day than what you had gotten.

One more hour.

One more minute.

But wishes are for disney films and fairytales, things like that which are light and airy

and real life is louder than the flat line of heart monitor, no matter how hard i try i just can’t stop myself from hearing it

and real life doesn’t grant wishes, no matter how many shooting stars we see or how any eyelashes we blow in the wind, no matter how many times the clock strikes 11:11

we don’t get one more chance, one more day, one more minute

we only get one, period.

we get one life and i hope that yours was as meaningful to you as it was to me

hope

now that is something that life can offer;

hope

because wishes are fleeting but hope gives us strength

and i hope that your pain was relieved

i hope you were able to smile

i hope you knew just how loved you truly, truly are

i hope you’re out there listening to me now, i hope you can hear how sorry i am and how much i miss you
