Regretting

Do you remember when I asked, "don't you know that you deserve better"? I reminded you of your worth in a long and meaningful letter. I corresponded your cry for help, with no reply from you. I understand now; why I never heard back. You were already gone, because he acted fast. I wish you would have let me known sooner. Perhaps if I had known, you wouldn't be six feet under with your spirit now translunar.
