The Words I Should've Said

Every time I close my eyes 
I hope to open them 
And see you again 
I wish to hear your voice 
For one last time 
Because I know I never will 

Every time I sleep
I see you in my dreams 
Yet the dream always ends 
Before I get the chance 
To say what I never truly said 

And I'll wake up 
With the same feeling 
Burning in my heart 
Because I know 
That dream will happen again 
The next night
And all of the others 

Because I never will say 
The words I never said 
For they're still 
Stuck in my mouth 
Pulling me down 
Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth 
That I can't erase

Forever I'll yearn to have that moment back 
So I can tell you 
All the words I meant to say

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
