what i should have said.

words hurt, they hurt deep
they have made you cry, made you weep.

and i know their severity
it's driving me to insanity.

and now i am left here
with nothing left, and nothing clear.

so please just believe me
that inside, you will always be

the only one, the special one.
and i know that what you've begun

will amaze them, entrance them,
you will get the chance to move them.

and i'll be watching,
proud inside, that the world will all see

the wonder, the beauty
in everything that you were meant to be.

always knowing that i will miss
the tender joy, and the simple bliss.

regardless of what you've read,
this is what i should've said.
