What should have been said
by Chanel Ranae O"connor

I told you to stay at school 
and that I would be there to pick you up. 
When I got there you were nowhere to be seen. 
I called everyone. 
Your best friend's mom said that you skipped school 
and went to the lake. 
I'm just your girlfriend 
I must not know what's best for you. 
There were so many things I wanted to say. 

You always told me you loved me. 
I never told you 
     I loved you too. 
I never told you 
     I couldn't love any other. 
You were more than just another boyfriend. 
You were my best friend 
     and the one person I loved.  
What do you do when tears run down your face 
and you don't want anyone to see them?
I didn't want anyone to see how much I was hurting.
I will never get the chance 
to tell you I love you now. 

You died right there in that cold water. 
Everyone kept telling me that everything would be ok. 
But how can it ever be ok? 
Our love died with you. 
All around me I see sorrow. 
Everyone is crying. 
You can see the hurt in everyone's eyes. 
Yet everyone tells me it will be ok. 

I wish I had told you
     I loved you, 
because now I will never get to say 
what I was going to tell you that very day.
