I Should Have Gone And Talked to Her

I should have gone and talked to her
she was sitting there
all by herself, all alone

I could have gone and talked to her
I saw her sitting there
I don't think she was noticed
I just thought that..
I minded my own business

she's dead now
no one will ever talk to her again
I heard she did it in her school
but I can't tell for sure

I can't even remember her name anymore
not to mention what she looked like
I only saw her once in my life
sitting there, on the floor

maybe
maybe talking to her would not have made any difference
but maybe it could have made her think twice
one of my biggest regrets

I almost went over to talk to her
but I didn't
I didn't know what to say
and later
I convinced myself that she was just waiting for her friend

she's dead now
I found out a few weeks later
it stopped me, shot a hole in my soul
I prayed for her but I couldn't cry
maybe I could have made a difference

one of my biggest regrets
I'm learning to accept
there's nothing I can do anymore
but to talk to people, say just anything:
"what do you think of the weather?
I like your shirt"
I can talk to others like her
but
I should have gone and talked to that girl

    How sad...we all have regrets...just makes you realize that sometimes simple kidness can be just what someone needs, there is always today, tomorrow is gone...good read :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    "I prayed for her but I couldn't cry

    It pulls me to tears to read this
    A shot in my soul,
    this will take such time to heal
    It was great of you to reveil your feelings

    I empatize with you on this peom/situation
    both on your side and her side

    I too know first hand what it is like to loss someone
    even if you don't fully know them
    I lost a friend in 2000
    she jumped off a bridge
    I too wished that I could of been there for her
    And sometime till this day I still blame myself
    Do yourself a favor and don't do the same as I.
    I never meant to hurt you, mi diablo, mi amigo, but I've built up so much character I have an alter ego. I have to make a clean break & I have to do it quick because the pain you give me babe would make Cal Ripken call in sick!!!

    thank you. my intention was not to make anybody cry.. but then again, sometimes it's very healing.

    I'm not even sure how this girl killed herself. not that it would make too big of a difference though.

    don't do the same as you? what do you mean? not to blame myself? too late for that I'm afraid.. :o but I'm getting "over it", little by little. what makes it difficult is that I've never told anyone about how I feel about this.. except for now I mean.

    Damn eMMI, I wish I read this yesterday...today I ran into a childhood friend, we haven't spoken in 20 years, but I knew it was her, and she looked at me like as if I looked familiar to her. We were in the same ballet class for years, we had the best times...but her mother didn't let her become very close to me because they were "upper class" and I was not. Her mother would snicker at my clothes and scuffed toe shoes. (such a f*ckin' bitch)
    Now I wish I had something to her today...it'll probably be years before I see her again, if ever...:(
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.

    well, you can't change what has happened. if you'll see her again, you know what to do. or if you see some other long lost friend.

    but I hate it when that happens, when I feel like I should say something but in the end I don't.. luckily it doesn't happen a lot. and not with the consequences similar to the poem...

    next time a childhood friend is in sight, you'll be prepared!! :)
