If Thats What It Took

I don't know how to look at your picture anymore
I don't know how to see your face and not cry,
I have been convinced it wasn't my fault,
It wouldn't have been if I tried....

"Baby" you said
"Your not ready to go"
" Yes dear I know"
"I have to stay home"

We argued a bit, and then she slammed the door,
"She'll get over it" of this I am sure.
I worked on my page an hour or so,
Decided to call her just to let her know,
...That I Love Her..

" I cant answer my phone, But you know what to do,"
" leave a message when I get it, I will get back to you"

I hung up the phone, thought to myself,
Things are good shes having fun,
Little did I know, later that night
The contentedness would soon be gone

I picked up the phone around 11 O'clock,
and awaited her beautiful voice,
But all I got was staticness,
And a unbelievably broken Noise

"I'm sorry Ma'am, we regret to inform"
" such an unfortunate dive"
"Theres been an accident and well your wife...
Did not get out alive"

I fell right to my knees,
I died...mentally,
Turns out the opposing driver was drunk,
this is why your not with me
I try so hard not to think,
That an I Love You was never said
I try so hard not to wish it was me that was dead
I will cry I million tears, sing a million songs, Do a couple Donts and right a couple wrongs...
If thats what it takes.... To let you know I Love You
