Too little too late

It's much too late,
To say that I was wrong.
It took a whole year to realize,
It should have been you all along.

My feelings betrayed me,
And I chose someone new.
I wasn't happy at all,
But then I thought of you.

Did it hurt like this?
Does the pain ever go away?
I'm not able to breathe properly,
And I'm missing you everyday.

My mind is filled with memories,
Of when you still cared about me.
My heart hurts more than ever,
But it's not me that you now see.

She's smarter, nicer, prettier,
Everything that I am not.
I'm stuck here waiting,
For the old feelings you haven't got.

My sleepless nights,
Are taunted by thoughts of before.
The memories of the late night talks,
And it makes me hurt even more.

It's a little too late for everything,
And I know that much is true.
Much too late to tell the world,
The person I loved all along was you.
