I never knew that that night would be our last_ if only had I known_ I never had the chance to say im sorry_ yet I know at each arguement we parted we apologised in our hearts_ if only I could have just 5 more minutes with you_ then again I would be longing for another 5_ if only you would understand what it felt like_ what it felt like to have the one who coccooned me for 9 months die in my arms_what it felt like to feel the coldness steal the warmth of your body_what it felt like to hear your last breath_ they say that while you are busy dying your life flashes before your eyes_ do you know that my life with you flashed before mine? If only i gave my mom more respect,more love and less tears_ if only...
Author notes
may 2008,my mom died in my arms tragically and very unexpectedly,due to our problems i live day to day feeling guilt,guilt of never respecting my own mother.

OMG! i am so so so sorry i dont know what else to say. This is one of the most heart breaking and saddest writes i have ever read.
I am so sorry you have had to go though that. I cant even imagine how hard that must have been. I am crying here, your pain is so evident and words so powerful. I hope that you one day are able to forgive and move on with your life. Ifs and buts will only land you in a dead end cycle of hurt and pain. Sometimes (though easier said than done) we have to accept that what we wanted to happen or wish we could have done or said will never change. I am so sorry for your pain.
This is an incredible write and i wish you all the best.
If you ever need to talk i am here
