Regret

You were perfect in every way,
I just couldn't see it,
I was blinded by fear
and now I'll always regret it.

I miss you so much,
I wish I could call you,
I wish I could see you
and tell you how much I care about you.

The owl told me you were leaving,
that you're going away,
but I didn't want to listen
to what he had to say.

You thought I didn't care,
but you were always on my mind.
I just didn't tell you, for words...
I couldn't find.

Why did you have to go so soon?
Things were just getting better.
I should have told you in person
or even written a letter.

The owl told me you were leaving,
that you're going away,
but I didn't want to listen
to what he had to say.

I should have called you that night
or at least sent a text,
but I thought there'd be another day
and that's something I'll always regret.

Now you're gone
and I miss you so much
every single day
I wish there was a way
to bring you back
and a way to make you stay.
