I'm sorry

So sorry.

For not knowing you better.

For not being there when you needed someone.

For not being a close friend.

For not trying harder.

For caring too much.

I truly wish I knew you better before you were gone,
But sorry doesn't cut it.

I unhelpfully write these words during your funeral.

Gods damnit, I wish humans would stop dropping dead and leaving the earth in a crisis and everyone they met in sadness.
