Thought I had the whole life!!

Thought I had the whole life!!
I thought I had the whole life
So, I never said hello! Never used to care,
Maybe I didn’t have the guts,
Or I didn’t want to dare.

I thought I had the whole life.
So I never kissed you goodnight
Never wanted to be in your sight.

I thought I had the whole life.
So I never went with you for fishing
May be I was scared of you
Or of the swishing.
I thought I had the whole life.
So we never sat and gossiped there’
Not a single up of coffee
That we together sipped.

I thought I had the whole life
I cursed you, when you were high
It the age of twelve I wished you’d die
God heard that one prayer
And ignored thousands other
Today I’m the reason of the tears
Shed by my sis and mother

I thought I had the whole life,
Guess it wasn’t time.
That’ why I am here, sitting without you.
Dad, I’m sorry….
I know I’ve been a bad child
You kept telling me’ I love you’
But I never replied…
Coz I thought I had the whole life….
