The day that she left,
the day that we knew,
I felt so helpless,
nothing I could do.
No way to comfort;
No way to heal;
I did not know her,
but sad I did feel.
School was a blur.
I sat in my seat.
She was just there,
right in the next seat,
why didn't I speak?
Say hello, what's new?
how was your day?
or just how are you?
I felt cheated;
My chance I had lost.
I wanted it back,
I'd pay any cost.
I wish I had known her.
I wish she'd known me.
But now it's too late,
why didn't I see?
