I thought you’d always be there,
So I regret not treasuring every moment we’d spent together.
Now you’re gone, and there’s nothing I can do.
I could’ve just showed you how much I cared,
Instead of being too embarrassed to show it.
I wish you only knew how very much I cared,
Before you left my life forever,
And left me in despair.
How I wish we could’ve been closer.
I know you really cared,
More about me than what the people around you thought.
Now I’m left in tears,
Regretting what I did not do,
That I knew deep down I wanted to.
I wanted to just hold you close,
And be with you so much.
I wish that I could see you,
Even if it’s only for a moment,
And tell you how I really feel,
Kiss your lips,
And hold you close.
But now you’re gone,
For who knows how long,
But I know you’ll be back some day,
No matter what they say.
My love will linger until then,
And I’ll do what I wish I’d done,
My eyes still filled with tears,
My love as strong as the day you left.
And you’ll come back,
I know you will,
For love comes back to reclaim itself,
And I’ll just wait until then.
