I wish I could have given more,
When not all my heart would do.
I wish I could have showed you more,
And been something new for you.

I wish I could have tried some more,
When my best efforts weren’t enough.
I wish I could’ve put up with more,
But I guess my toughest wasn’t tough.

I wish I could’ve loved you more,
When not all my love surpassed.
I wish I could still be with you,
But it’s done now, in the past.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
