For Andy (R.I.P.)

By Petra Creffield

For Andy (R.I.P.)

If there was more time
I'd write a poem or two more

If there was more time
I'd watch the dawn every day

If there was more time
I'd hug more people

If there was more time
I wouldnt miss anyone I love

If there was more time
I would have got to know you more



Whens theres more time
I'll learn from all my mistakes

When theres more time
I'll eat breakfast every day

When theres more time
I'll dance wild in every way

When theres more time
I will be with you all

When theres more time
I will still think of you



Too little time
For all the things I want to do

Too little time
To laugh and to boo

Too little time
To fit this big world in

Too little time
To spend it all blue

Too little time
Of seeing the light in you



This time
I will learn

This time
I will grow

This time
I will know

This time
I will fly

This time
We'll touch the sky

And you my friend, are the reason why.

    So many words gone unsaid, so many could have been times. I know the feeling.

    these are the hardest for me to write, so i've gained a lot of respect for you for this. the only thing is i'm ashamed to display the dedication. perhaps when i finally do, i will have learned just like you.
