i wrote a letter
to say i was sorry
and to tell you
that there is no fate
and that i love you
and that you are my heart
and you guide my soul
and when i checked the mail
it wasn't there
i've waited for five years
three months
and two days
i know exactly how
long it's been
since you wrote me last
and told me that
your world was ending
that there was no way to save you
and that by the time
i got the letter
it would be too late
but i saved you
didn't i?
i keep telling myself i did
but i don't know why
why do i tell myself
you are still alive?
i know you're gone
and i'm sorry
that i didn't realize
you were going to
self distruct
like the boy
in tv
or the bomb in the building
i didn't realize
that you loved me
and all you needed to hear
were the words
i didn't even realize that
i love you
and i never said it
i am sorry
that you are gone
i am sorry
that you are never coming back
and i am sorry
that MY life goes on...
