The Ending

The last thing I said
I wish I hadn't.
The last thing I did
I wish I didn't.
The last time I saw you
I wish it wasn't.
The last person you talked to,
I wish I wasn't.
I wish I could change your ending.
I wish you could be happy,
unlike I ever made you.
I wish you were still here,
but that's all I can do.
Wish. Wishing doesn't change a thing.
It doesn't change your ending
but how I wish it could.
