Missing Confessions

I've never had a chance to tell you
before you had to go
so now, I'm stuck here wondering
If you had ever known

My undying yet painful love towards you
unable to be spoken aloud
preparing to break through,
spinning 'round and 'round

I've been in the shadows long enough
enough to think and be sure
to wonder if it'd been long enough
to reveal something whole and pure

I've been thinking about you,
never had a chance to 'fess
and here I am, writing it out
putting myself through the test

As if it wasn't bad enough
my feelings are trapped inside
you'd think for once life would give me a chance
and for once would let me by

And yet here I lay alone
wondering what would've happened
if you hadn't gone

Hadn't left before confession
hadn't put me through this sorrow
then at least there'd be a chance
of seeing my tomorrow
