I Never Knew

Back then
I didn't know how fast
Time would truly fly
Save the world, let a love
Just pass me by
Thought that you were just an endless
Tomorrow stretching far and wide
With a simple
I'm okay, I watched your
Nights just fly
The name
I couldn't call
As you turned your back to leave
Still sometimes echoes late
Within my heart
I grieve
Love remained
But the person had gone away
Regret always speaks too late
At the close of every day
The days
I couldn't cherish
Instead of
I'm sorry said
Fill my glass alone at night
With unspoken words unsaid
Years without you now are longer than
We had
Learned to hold it in more than to ever be glad
The name
I couldn't call
As you turned your back to leave
Still sometimes echoes late
Within my heart
I grieve
Love remains
But the person had gone away
Regret always speaks too late
At the close of every day
If
I could turn back time, would
I hold
You close once more
THE YOU FROM BACK THEN
All of me
I was before
No, I wouldn't go back
I'd say it's all right
If only
I could say thank you
Just one more time
With all my might that
I loved you then and
I still love you today
It's late, but not the end
I want to bravely say
When this night
Fades away
Another day will start
With regret quietly lingering
In my heart
