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

    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down

    Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
