I woke up knowing that this was the day
I couldn't let fear of rejection stand in my way

I have to tell the woman I love of my undying devotion
when we are together I feel the greatest emotions

She has become a part of my mind and soul
without her I am not even close to whole

I constantly feel lost and beaten by my fear
but I am comforted when she is near

If she feels the same way, I'm not really sure
but for her loneliness I know I'm the cure

I can't wait any longer, I need to tell her now
but I've held off so long I'm not sure how

Somehow I find my way through the basement and to our office door
I take a deep breath and rehearse once more

My palms are moist and sweat rolls down my cheek
I sigh and realize my knees are weak

I stride into the office a half hour late
the room is empty---------maybe it's fate

My mind is racing with reasons she's not there
I stare longingly at her empty chair

I check my voice mail to see if she has called
what I hear next causes my heart to stall

Skinner's voice instructs me to rush to ER right away
her cancer has fought back and might not allow her to live another day

Panic flows through me--how could this be?
I must tell her my feelings before her soul is set free...

Within moments I arrive at the hospital and rush to the side of her bed
"I'm sorry sir..you're just minutes too late." the doctor said

My world stops turning and I beg the Lord "Please..."
one glance confirms my worst fears as I drop to my knees

Scully is gone and when she left I wasn't by her side
At that moment my own will to live also died

Why hadn't I said something sooner--why did I wait??
It took 6 years and now I was too late
