Memorial poem with "didn't have time to say Good-bye" in it?

Question

I am searching for a poem that I read years ago. The first paragraph had a line similar to " didn't get to say goodbye" or "didn't have time to say goodbye"
I want to post a memorial in the newspaper for my sister. She was murdered 13 years ago while I lived 1000 miles away, therefore "I didn't have time to say Goodbye". I am still grieving her and this is real important to me.
If someone out there can tell me the name of it , the author or even the book, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

This came from a 9/11 memorial page. I don't know if it's what you wanted, but good luck!

Now That You’re An Angel
(G. Soucy / G. Soucy)

I didn’t have time to to say I love you
I didn’t have time to say how much I cared
I didn’t have time to tell you how proud I was
I didn’t have time to show you, how I really felt

I didn’t have time to say I’m sorry
I didn’t have time to hold you one last time
The day you where taken away from me
Has left me helpless...hurting..., oh what can i do!

My hands are tied, I can’t fly
I wanna reach for the sky
To feel your soul, one more time
My hands are tied, I can’t fly
What do I do, where do I go,
I miss you so much, I feel empty inside
I can’t let go, my heart won’t die
My hands are tied, I can’t fly

I didn’t have time to sew up, those deepest wounds
I didn’t have time to give us another chance
You being swept away like a leaf in the park,
Has left me, helpless, hurtin....oh what can I do...!

-Chorus-

If I only I Had Another Chance,
If Only I knew you’d be leaving so fast
The hardest thing for me you know....
Is that I didn’t have time, no I didn’t have time, no I didn’t have time
to say Goodbye........GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!

-Solo-
-Chorus-

You're looking at me, saying it’s all right, but I can’t hear

Answer 2

Not sure if this is it

I Didn't Get to Say Goodbye
I didn't even get to say GOODBYE
Why did you have to go?
I hope your happy wherever you are
I will always love you so.

I'd try to copy eveything you did,
you were always so good.
I looked up to you every day,
I'd be you if I could.

I remember we'd play the same old game,
I'd always try to cheat.
You'd always sit in the same old seat,
I'd always try to take your place.

You meant the world to me and my mom,
we'll love you forever.
I remember we'd always watch the same old film,
Fried green tomatos.
You meant to my mom the most,
she was ever so strong.
She had to be tough for the whole family,
your leaving us was wrong.

I didn't even get to say goodbye,
why did you have to go?
I hope your happy
wherever you are.
