Of all the things I should have told you,
I should have said "I love you" very often;
So you wouldn't have questioned your worth
or your very existence.
Of all the things I should told you,
I should have said "I'm here",
So you didn't have to feel alone
and be an outcast among your peers.
Of all the things I should have told you,
I should have said "Thanks",
For being the way you are
and being a heaven-sent.
Of all the things I should have told you,
I should have said "It's okay",
So you didn't have to go through feeling burdened,
and be in so much pain.
Of all the things I should have told you,
I should have said "This shall pass"
So you wouldn't have left
and chosen an exit that would forever last.
