Words Left Unsaid

He reads her notes,
He sees she still cares.
He hears her say,
She'll always be there.

When he is stressed
And things aren't right.
He'd wish for her
To hold him tight.

He remembers her laugh,
And her chubby cheeks.
The way her eyes twinkle
The way she speaks.

He smiles to himself
As he thinks of her
One day he'll tell her
He loves her for sure.

Then one morning,
He got a call.
He thought it was her,
But it wasn't at all.

They said they were sorry,
They had tried their best
They just couldn't wake her
From her eternal rest.

She left him a note.
The last one he'll get.
Said her world changed,
The day they met.

She apologized again,
And she hopes he can see
That because she loves him
She'll set him free.

Tears fall on the note,
As he read it once more.
He wished he had told her
His thoughts before.

To tell her he forgives her
He didn't mean to let go.
He sees all her efforts
To tell her he knows.

But now it's too late.
He says his good-byes.
As they lower her casket
A part of him dies.
