By Kate, New South Wales
A single shot darted through the air, I wish we'd laughed a little longer, Embedding itself deep within my chest, I wish I'd held you a little closer, There is no escaping my looming fate, I wish we'd met a little sooner, I grasp at the crimson stain, I wish we'd had a little one, My fingers searching in desperation, I wish I'd gazed a little deeper, At last, the tiny locket, I wish I'd said I love you a little more, Tears streaming, I see your gorgeous face one last time, I wish I'd said more than a little goodbye.
