"one last time"

————————————————————————

i didn't quite understand at first why you were so special to me. i didn't understand why you stood out from the rest.

everything about you was magical. a type of love i couldn't feel for anybody else.

even on our worst days, i would've never left your side.

you know i didn't want things to change.

but i missed you so much it hurt. i couldn't sleep most nights and my pillow was stained with tears. even hearing your name filled me with pain.

i would've given anything to turn back the clocks, to be with you one last time.

i never told you how much your absence tore me apart, even if i know i should have.

i'm sorry i let you down as much as i did.

i hope you know i still love you the same.
