Too soon

Regrets

Too Soon, Too Sudden

We lost you—

so soon,

so sudden,

so quickly.

And now we're left without you.

Left without your smile,

your laughter,

your jokes.

Left with a silence that echoes too loud.

I admired the way you led us—

strong, fearless, kind.

You were my role model.

I looked up to you…

I still do.

I loved you.

And I hate that I never told you.

I regret that.

I don’t have many regrets in life,

but now I carry one—

a heavy one.

I regret never saying

how much I strive to be like you.

How much I wanted to play the way you did.

How much I loved you.

He took you from us…

so soon,

so sudden.

And I’ll never understand why.

I don’t think I ever will.

But I promise you this—

I’ll play in your name.

Every game.

Every day.

I’ll chase every goal with your spirit in my heart.

I’ll fight to be even half as incredible as you were.

We miss you.

I miss you.

And I’m so sorry I never told you.

Too Soon, Too Sudden

We lost you—

so soon,

so sudden,

Left without your smile,

your laughter,

your jokes.

In memory
