lessons learned

by J.J. Campbell

i must have
been in my
early 20's

i wanted to
save you from
yourself

show you
what love
is

see if i could
find happiness
in the grass
on a cloudy
day

you died in
a car wreck
before i ever
got the balls
to share any
of this with
you

never went to
the funeral either

waited ten long
years to forgive
myself and write
this poem

sorry
