Echoes of lonely silence
Excuses rebound in my head
Words I should have said to you
Yet all remain unsaid
Things I should have done for you, yet all remain undone
Our trivial talk was wasted
My one lifelong regret
An empty shell of a boy
Was always busy trying to live
Giving room for negativity
To spend time that was true
I'd turn back the hands of time
Just to hear your comforting voice
And to feel once more your presence
We only know what's missing
When it's gone for good
We mostly don't know what we have
Until it's lost or in the process of extinction
Mostly at time we take people for granted
Only to realise their true value in their absence
When we might never see them ever again
Or hear their warm familiar voice
But this shouldn't be so
Selfish nights of endless works
I never understood
Wrong and rude ways of treating people
Because of fear or restrictions of authority
All I have left are these memories
Clutched in trembling hands
Memories that are beginning to fade away
I raise my head to the vast blue-azure sky
I try hard to understand
The pain refuses to leave me alone
So I banish it from memory
But regret is etched in my heart
For time is now eternal
We are forever apart
"I love you," I never told you so
But I hope that you knew
"You mean so much to me"
I never told you so
But I hope that you knew
"You're such a wonderful person"
I never told you so
But I hope that you knew
"You'll forever be in my heart"
I never told you so
But I hope that you knew
And my last words to you is that
I'm deeply sorry; goodbye.
