As The Countdown Ends

I always had enough time to spend with you

But I selfishly made it all mine

Masked behind my excuses

 

Oh lover, half my life

I'm now afraid I cannot change things

"Forever. Until the end of time."

At least that's a promise I can still keep

 

I never wrote you back

Letting you know I was thinking about you

I used up all my chances

Thinking that someday I'll come back to you

 

I've tried my best to wake up

To realize that I'm still in bed with you

But reality's pain replaced you

Now it's sad that I finally face the truth

 

So this is it

My eyes shut tight

I bask in the last thought on my mind

The day you said yes to "Would you be mine?"

 

I thought I would make it through

I want to tell you I'm sorry

For not loving you

The way that it used to be

I cry out your name as I hold your picture close

And as the countdown ends

I think about our first kiss
