Uncle

I wish this never happened
I wish the world was a better place
I wish you didn’t have to leave
I wish I could see you again

I want the drunk driver to change his mind
I want you and your wife to be safe again
I want you still here
I want you still alive

Last night shouldn’t have happened
Last night should be taken back
Last night we lost you
Last night I lost you

I hadn’t seen you in over two years
I hadn’t gotten the chance to say “I love you”
I hadn’t expected this

I want you back
I want my Uncle here
I wish the drunk driver had changed his mind
Because he killed you.
