No one knew my true feelings for you
Not my friends, my family, not even you.
I was in love with you but I never told you.
I didn't think we would make it,
I didn't think I was your type,
I was supposed to already be in love with someone.
I had every excuse in the world
but really I was just too afraid to tell you.
I wish it was you I had married.
I wish it was you who I woke up to every morning.
I wish it was your last name on the end of mine.
I think about the last time we were together
and it brings a tear to my eye.
I remember how it felt like our souls united,
like our hearts became one, like time stood still.
That's when I realized you were my one true love.
But instead of following my heart,
I followed others' advice and married someone else
and you became my best friend instead.
Were you in love with me too?
Did you feel the same that last time?
Was my marriage the reason you left this world?
I wish I had told you how I felt about you
cause maybe then you would have stayed.
I wish I could have told you all this before
when I could have said it to your face
instead of to your headstone and through six feet of dirt.
