As I lay in the deep water of the ocean
thinking back upon the days that I have lost to time
Your face always invades my memories
And when I attempt to sleep at night
Your words repeat themselves in my ears
Your voice is the memories I wish never to loose.
And I hope that I can forever hold onto the things that once were
Even as I sit and wonder what could have been and what I lost when I let you go
I don’t regret the minutes I spent with you
Or the truths that I spoke
But I regret never letting you know that every night before I went to sleep
I wished you were next to me
So somebody would protect me from
The demons I brought upon myself and the words I never dared to speak aloud.
