I wish I could have told you…

I wish I could have told you how much I loved you.
I wish I could have told you how much I cared. 
When you went away without saying goodbye,
All I wanted to do is cry.

My life hadn’t been the same since you left, 
My dreams had gone away,
I’ve even forgotten how to play.
How miserable have I become since your death!

I never knew that love could be so strong,
Sometimes I wonder if it wasn’t wrong;
Wrong to fall in love,
Now, you’re all that I’m thinking of. 

You were my strength when I was weak, 
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak,
You lifted me up when I was down. 
I wish I could have told you how much I’d miss you. 

My life without you is a misery.
Will I ever find someone like you to love me?
Please, forgive me if I wasn’t there,
For, every day I wish I could have told you how much I care.

You were my sunshine on a cloudy day, 
You were my guide, when I had lost my way.
My light when I couldn’t see the way. 
I wish I could have helped you to stay.

Had I known today you would be gone,
I would have tried to prevent it. 
And now that I’m all alone, 
I know you would have wanted me to accept it. 

Now that you are gone, who will wipe my tears away?
Who will make me feel the way you used to touch me, tease me, love me?
Whom will I call upon to come and play?
Oh, how I wish you were still here with me!!


Why did you go without saying goodbye?
Can somebody tell me why?
I wish I knew the answers to these questions. 
But now, I’m left with no more inspirations.

No one had ever cared for me the way you did, 
I wish you had never part.
But who am I to stop destiny from happening, indeed?
I guess I’ll always keep you in my heart.

Who would have thought you would be out of my life?
Who would have thought you’d never become my wife?
Oh, dear, how I miss you!!
Baby, how I love you!!

I loved you, my dear, I truly did.
I wish you knew how much you meant to me.
I still love you, my sweet, I really do, 
I wish I had shown you my world of living fantasy.

Forgive me, my love, 
For never taking the time to thank you for all those years of happiness;
Forgive me, my dove,
For never letting you know that you were the source of my inspirations. 

I wish I could see you again to tell you how much I cared,
I wish I could see you again to wrap my arms around you.
I wish I could see you again to tell you how I miss you,
I wish I could see you again to make love to you. 

You said your love for me was made from heaven, 
Now I see what you meant.
I guess it’s too late now to understand,
Now I know how much you cared. 

Now has come, for me, the time to say goodbye,
I promise you I’ll try not to cry.
But before I fall into my emptiness,
Know that in my heart, eternally, you’ll rest.

I have no regrets from knowing you,
But one thing, I wish I could have told you…
