Live to the Max

There are things I wish I knew and there are things I wish you had known.

I wish I knew about heaven. Do you still see us? Do you hear me when I talk to you?

I wish you had known what you’d leave behind. The pain. The loneliness. The life altering heartbreak. I wish you had known.

I wish I had known what to say or what to do to get a different outcome. Was there anything I could have done? Oh, how I wish I knew.

I wish you had known how to manage the pain in a way that didn’t lead you to this outcome. Oh, how I wish you had known.

I would say, I wish you knew how much you were loved. But you knew. Of that I’m certain, I know you knew.

I only wish you knew how to stay.
