These lingering words

These lingering words
that i can still hear
just for right now
are the only things that i fear

I should have never said them
even if they were true.
Now they'll mean something forever.
I love you.

Even though we're not together
and we can no longer talk.
All i do is think of you
as i walk the streets you walk.

I told you that i loved you.
I told you that i cared.
I'm sorry i cant be with you
but you know you make me scared.

These lingering words still matter.
These lingering words are still true.
These lingering words are still how i feel.

Please know I'll always love YOU!
