Why did you have to go?
I didn't think the time was right you know?
I had so much more to say to you, even just a kiss on your forehead.
But you decided it was time to leave me instead.
And here I stand, heart in my hand, looking at your tired face as your soul searches for a home.
And you've left me here so unprepared,
to fend for myself, I don't understand,
how could you decide it was time to go?
I sat here for days, the imprint remains, and held your hand until you slept.
Throughout the night I stared at your face, and recalled a lifetime of joy and I wept.
For I knew that you would soon be going, only I had no say,
and it was for you to decide, not me or for God, but your choice alone to slip away.
So you did and you have left me to stand on my own
and now i must face this harsh world alone.
How could you do this to me after promising you'd be here forever?
Did you lie or were you wrong or misled?
Did someone in your past tell you those same words you've said?
Did they leave you with so much to say,
and a pain that will never go away?
for now you'll never hear me say, "I love you".
That my dear friend will haunt me for eternity.
Until we get the chance to cross paths you'll see,
I was not really that cold all along.
And you can reach out for a hug, and kiss me on my cheek,
and accept all of my love.
Until then you'll find you'll be free of pain,
full of sunshine, never rain,
surrounded by others who lost loves and lives,
who share a common bond: no one there to love.
I will see you again,
when my time comes to it's end.
And I promise you my dearest friend,
when the time comes to pass,
don't hesitate to ask,
why I never said those words before.
I'll be happy to explain,
that it was all a grave mistake
That I should have said a whole lot more.
