If you want to change the last thing you did so much, it's all you can think about. If I could re-live any moment, it would be the last visit I had. If I could say something, instead of nothing, it would be to tell you how much you mean to me. If I could do anything, it would be to give you a final kiss goodbye. I didn't get another chance. When I found out you had gone, it made me realize how much I should have done them. They said that you would know how much I loved you but I wanted to tell you myself, Just to be sure, I wanted to tell you how grateful I was for everything you'd done and taught me, And that I’m going to make you proud. When I found out you'd gone, It seemed a part of me had too, And, no matter what, that part would remain empty forever. I had my chance to see you again, and I didn't make the same mistake twice. I told you how much you meant to me and kissed you goodbye. I can only hope that you were looking down and listening. I then had to turn my back on you again, knowing I wouldn't see you again. It's been two months since you left, Two months spent wondering what could have been, Two months without you, Two months of many more to come.
