Teenage years, my longing
Was just to leave my home
To fall in love with travel
My heart was free to roam
The times I packed my suitcase
I always called you near
To let you know what I was doing
To show you love and care
After years of dating
I finally found the one
Marriage and children followed
And youth was swiftly done
My calls back home grew fewer
I was too busy with my life
Looking after my own family
My children and my wife
I’m sorry I missed your call
I promised I’d call you back
But my busy life took over
A moment I can’t retract
Now you have left us
My heart is full of regret
I lay down flowers on your grave
A love I won’t forget
