I Should Have Loved You More

Even though you left me home a lot
when you found new female friends and

spent more time with them than
with me –

I should have loved you more.

Even though when I got tired of being alone
and neglected,

and I left you and never came back to you
despite you wanting me back –

I should have loved you more.

A couple of decades later I felt sad for you
when you died at a young 50, and if we meet

again in the afterlife … I will love you more.

Bob Boyd
