Spend Every Second

Why can't we be together,
Why must we be apart,
Why must I continue to be tortured,
This giant hole in my heart.

Such a short time,
You were here with me,
Yet in that short time,
I found what love could really be.

Spending the time talking,
While walking down the street,
Nowhere in particular to be,
Just grabbing a bite to eat.

Now, since you've left,
Every thing's suddenly gone,
For a short time, things were right,
And once again they're all wrong.

I can't begin to understand,
Why your stay was so short,
But now all I can do is ask,
Why couldn't I provide more support.

I think of all the time I missed,
Realizing that it's too late,
To make any of that up to you,
Maybe it's just fate.

Now I regret every moment,
We didn't spend together,
Every beautiful summer's day,
We didn't enjoy the weather.

I regret every day I decided,
I couldn't spend it with you,
"I'll spend time with you tomorrow,
Today there's things to do."

So if you're listening,
There's one thing I want you to know,
I would've spent every second with you,
If I knew so soon you'd go.

I would've given in,
On all our little fights,
I would've put more importance,
On tucking you in at night.

I would've taken you to the park,
Every single day,
I would've shown how much I loved you,
In every single way.

It would've all been different,
And I hope you know I was trying,
I just always thought there'd be time,
I never pictured you dying.

Just know that I'll always love you,
I'll think about you every night,
I'll hold your pictures near my heart,
And dream of tucking you in tight.

I know where you are now,
Now you're looking down at me,
Just know I'll never forget you,
You just wait and see.

I have to go now,
Because there's things to do,
But rest assured that when I'm done here,
I'll spend every second with you.
