Too late to say i love you

With slits in my wrists
With tears in my eyes
And with you lying so cold and still
As I say my last good byes

I’m thinking of what you promised me
You promised your heart and soul
When you said it, it came from your heart
Yet soon, they’ll bury you in a hole

I’m now thinking of how happy we were
But that was in the past
How foolish I must have been
To think that it could last

You once told me to follow my dreams
But they all included you
We were gonna feed hippos in Africa
That’s what we were gonna do

I can picture exactly the way you looked that day
And exactly how you smelt
I know exactly what you were wearing
And exactly how you felt

You smiled at me from ear to ear
For the last time that day
‘Twas the day you said you loved me
The day you passed away

I had every chance to say it back
To say I love you too
But I was caught up in my own selfishness
But I swear I did and I do

But it’s a bit late for that
You’re gone and I have faced it
You shared with me so much of your love
And I know now that I wasted it

And so with slits in my wrists
And tears in my eyes
And with you lying so cold and still
I say my last good byes
