5.22.09 - In Loving Memory of My Dad

This is a song I wrote after my dad passed away on May 22, 2009 (only less than one month ago). He was teaching me how to play guitar right before he passed. This song isn't exclusively for people who are grieving from a death, though. I think you can relate if you've ever had any regrets or broke up with someone etc.
Lyrics:
Will it ever subside?
This unrest inside
I have so many things I wish I could have said
So many things I should have done
So many things that could have showed you
That I cared
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance at goodbye
It takes a loss to fully realize
It takes an event so catastrophic
To take your heart and really stop it
It takes a blow to the chest
To bring you from your best
Why did it happen so fast?
I didn't know that day you'd take your last breath
I didn't know I'd be there to witness
I didn't know I could feel like this
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance at goodbye
It takes a loss to fully realize
It takes an event so catastrophic
To take your heart and really stop it
It takes a blow to the chest
To bring you from your best
I have so many things I wish I could have said
So many things I should have done
I didn't know that day you'd take your last breath
Why did it happen so fast?
But now looking at it from the outside in
I realize, you're what made me best.

My dad died when I was 21. I'm 43 now but I still miss him. I like your song. My dad had a saying " Good,Better,Best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better's BEST... Your last line fits well with this!!! Thanks for sharing.
