It's too late for me to tell you
everything that I wanted to say.
and even though I know
it's over
still think of you and
everything that I love.
I wish that I could hold you
and never let go.
To just feel you next to me.
I wanted to tell you that I love you,
but I didn't know how to
let my voice
kiss you.
I wanted to keep you
but my grasp was to far.
I didn't want to cry
when you left me,
but my tears just fell out
on their own.
It's time for me to forget you
and move on.
Every tear that falls
will leave a trail of my
memories of you,
and soon
I won't remember your face.
I don't want you to go
but it's something
I have to give up.
I lost you
and you're never
going to come back
and hold my hand
or look at me
with so much love in your eyes.
Just like before
I'll have to try and learn to let go.
Every step that I take away from you
is like losing my heart,
but I'd rather be
heartless
than waiting for something
that'll never happen again.
It's too late for me
to tell you everything
that I wanted to say.
and even though I know it's over
I still think of you
and everything that I love,
but I have to move on and not regret.
But the thing is I miss you
even when I try to forget.
It's not fair that I love you so much
and it's hard to let go
but you forgot about me so long ago.
