Tell me, how has it been so long since you said goodbye? While all these years have passed, inside I have needed to cry. No one ever thought this was how it was going to be, so now you are gone, you will not get to know me. I know I had my chance, and could have said what was needed to say, but at a lack of words, I said nothing, and regret it to this day. How could you make up for all the time and space left? It is hard looking back, I just want to move onto what's next. But I cannot find my missing link, the one who set me free, there are so many things you are missing, events that I want you to see. Potential centuries have gone by, each one has been lacking your smile, and I go on each day remembering the fading all the while.
