“I want to tell you with my last breath that I have always loved you.”

“I want to tell you with my last breath that I have always loved you.”

There is no one to hear your pleas for help;
there is nothing left to hold on to.
The fighting stops and you become still,
You sink further into hopelessness than you have gone before,
Life and pain that have animated you drift away.
Time slows.
You wait, floating in peace as you leave what you are to become something else.

know I wasn’t good –
Maybe I was even bad –
But I was way too young
To know just what I had.
And if I let you down,
Now I let you go,
But I was so young
And now it’s all gone.
I’m the one to blame.

Don’t you know I loved you,
Even now I miss you.
Always outside and trying to step in,
is this my future,
will it ever begin?
Don’t you know I loved you,
Even now I miss you.

After all of these years,
I’m still tryin’ to shake it,
Doing much better they say that it just takes time,
But deep in the night it is an endless fight.

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and sigh.
