I thought that it could wait

I wish I could have shown I cared,
I thought that it could wait,
All the things we should have shared
but we left it far too late.

Regrets will never change the past
but I hope that you can hear me,
I'm glad that you're at peace at last,
Death, it seems, has set you free.

I was bitter, that's how it started,
I could not forgive the sin,
It's now too late, we have been parted,
My stubbornness would not give in.

Now I forgive and try to move on,
I'll find new ways to cope,
Life is hard now you are gone
but new life brings new hope.
