I Hate That You’re Not There

I hate the way I miss you

And the way you never cared.

I wish that you had listened

I wished that you were there.

I hate the way it’s different now

I hate how much it hurts.

I wish that I could turn back time

Press pause and then reverse.

I could’ve changed the outcome

I could’ve tried something new

I could’ve tried to make things better

I should have tried for you.

But now things are different

And my choices are not mine

It wasn’t meant to be this way

We were supposed to have more time.

I wish that I could tell you

All the things I never said

I wish that I could hold you

And feel your lips kiss my forehead.

I never wanted to lose you mom

And I never thought I’d care.

I hate the way I miss you mom

And I hate that you’re not there.
